Description and Table of Contents

Description

In the Kingdom of Shadows puts flesh on the bare bones of the film industry as it developed in Britain between 1895 and 1915. The authors have selected texts and illustrations to evoke the period. Adopting a thematic rather than chronological approach, chapters look at specific aspects of the reception, exhibition, and numerous applications of film. Introductory essays for each chapter serve to place a selection of contemporary extracts and illustrations in context.
