Description
The Encyclopedia of Early Cinema is a unique reference work on the first twenty-five years of the cinema's international emergence, approximately from the early 1890s to the mid-1910s. These early years of the history of cinema have lately been the subject of resurgent interest and a growing body of scholarship, and have come to be recognized as an extraordinarily diverse period, when moving pictures were quite unlike the kind of cinema that later emerged as the dominant norm.
