Description

Early Cinema: Space, Frame, Narrative by Thomas Elsaesser and Adam Barker is a comprehensive survey of film research that explores the development of cinema's forms of storytelling and representation. From its emergence as a social institution in the early 20th century to its evolution into a complex industry, this collection of essays examines the key figures and movements that shaped the medium. The authors draw on new readings of pioneers such as Melies, Lumiere, Porter, and Griffith, while also offering fresh perspectives on major European filmmakers of the 1910s and 20s. With introductory essays by editor Thomas Elsaesser, this volume provides a valuable overview of the field, making it an invaluable resource for historians and students of cinema alike.
