American Cinema of the 1910s

SCREEN

AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA

DECADES

Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series

presents a group of original essays analyzing the impact of cultural issues on the cin-

ema and the impact of the cinema in American society. Because every chapter

explores a spectrum of particularly signiﬁcant motion pictures and the broad range

of historical events in one year, readers will gain a continuing sense of the decade as

it came to be depicted on movie screens across the continent. The integration of his-

torical and cultural events with the sprawling progression of American cinema illu-

minates the pervasive themes and the essential movies that deﬁne an era. Our series

represents one among many possible ways of confronting the past; we hope that

these books will offer a better understanding of the connections between American

culture and ﬁlm history.
