Reviews
With essays by Tom Gunning, Richard Abel, Douglas Gomery, Tino Balio, Barbara Klinger, etc., this collection assembles some of the best historical writing on cinema, and links them together through a sequence of introductory essays providing an overview and a context for each piece. Together, Film Histories offers its reader a collection of the leading examples of the methodologies available for the construction of the social, economic and cultural history of cinema. -- Richard Maltby, Head of the School of Humanities and Professor of Screen Studies, Flinders University The authors have managed successfully to combine two types of film text book: an all-embracing and succinct history book and an excellent collection of essays which provide a chronological analysis of the development of cinema ! the book is an excellent general history for undergraduate film and media students.
