Recenzii

"Even as WWI becomes more distant in popular memory, its representation on film has become a topic of increasing scholarly interest. . . . The present volume is a significant addition to this literature, primarily for its comparative international perspective. . . . Recommended."

"This welcome addition to the literature embodies not merely the scholarship but also something of the verve Isenberg hoped to see devoted to the study of World War I and film. Its eleven contributors examine the impact of the war on the evolution of filmmaking in ten belligerent nations as well asùand perhaps more importantlyùthe continuing role of film in shaping the historical vision of the war. . . . There is sufficient originality and depth throughout to please the most seasoned readers. . . . The book is not only well-conceived and well-balanced as a written work, but handsome. Its elegant typeface and layout, together with the large number of appropriate photographs, make it another small victory of scholarship and aesthetics over that bane of our times—mere information."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The First World War and Popular Cinema provides fresh insight into the role of film as an historical and cultural tool. Through a comparative approach, essays by contributors from Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States enrich our understanding of cinematic depictions of the Great War in particular and combat in general. New historical research on both the uses of propaganda and the development of national cinemas make this collection one of the first to show the ways in which film history can contribute to our study of national histories.
