Description de l'ouvrage:
Silent Film and the Formations of U.S. Literary Culture: Literature in Motion argues that the emergence of motion pictures constituted a defining moment in U.S. literary history. Author Sarah Gleeson-White discovers what happened to literary culture-both popular and higher-brow―when inserted into the spectacular world of motion pictures during the early decades of the twentieth century. How did literary culture respond to, and how was it altered by, the development of motion pictures, literature's exemplar and rival in narrative realism and enthrallment? Gleeson-White draws on extensive archival film and literary materials, and unearths a range of collaborative, cross-media expressive and industrial practices to reveal the manifold ways in which early-twentieth-century literary culture sought both to harness and temper the reach of motion pictures.

Revue de Presse:
"Silent Film and the Formations of U.S. Literary Culture elegantly maps the ways silent cinema reshaped American literary culture. If you're wondering where the study of film and literature should go, Sarah Gleeson-White shows the way." -- Jordan Brower, Assistant Professor of English, University of Kentucky
"Silent Film and the Formations of U.S. Literary Culture is striking for its ambitions and its generosity. In it, Sarah Gleeson-White defines a pervasive and significant phenomenon that has been heretofore ignored: her term 'motion-picture print culture' so perfectly defines the proliferation of film-engaged texts and texts on film that it will surely become part of the lexicon for describing the period's cultural exchanges. Beginning by identifying film's effects on authorship and ending with an analysis of how readers, too, were changed by 'motion-picture print culture,' this book is a model for reading new cultural forms, from the author cameo to the storyization." -- Katherine Fusco, Associate Professor of English, University of Nevada, Reno
