{"product_id":"studying-early-and-silent-cinema-3","title":"Studying Early and Silent Cinema","description":"In this accessible introduction to early and silent cinema, which is currently enjoying a renaissance, both academically and in the popular imagination thanks to The Artist, Keith Withall provides both a comprehensive chronology of the period until the birth of sound and also a series of detailed case studies on the key films from the period – some well known (including Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, Eisenstein's Strike and Chaplin's The Kid), some perhaps less well familiar (including Murnau's The Last Laugh and Oscar Micheaux's Within Our Gates). As well as covering in detail the major film-making figures and nations of the period, the author also provides insights into the industry in less well documented areas. Throughout, the films and film-makers are placed in the context of rapid worldwide industrial change. (Please note this book is a revised and expanded version of Early and Silent Cinema: A Teacher's Guide, published by Auteur in 2007.)","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54018264629592,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781906733704_6c302ccc-9903-45cd-83bb-6ea9a5414236.jpg?v=1764427515","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/studying-early-and-silent-cinema-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
