Description
The Dream that Kicks: A New Perspective on Early Cinema in Britain Michael Chanan's groundbreaking study of the origins of film in Britain offers a fresh and fascinating account of the prehistory and early years of cinema. In this revised edition, Chanan builds upon recent scholarship to present a compelling narrative of how cinematography emerged as a product of 19th-century capitalism. He explores the diverse influences that shaped early cinema, including diorama, music hall, and itinerant entertainers. By examining the relationship between film and photography, and considering the reception of early cinema by its audiences, Chanan sheds new light on the development of cinema in its first fifteen years.
