Our subject in this book is the historical study of film, not film itself.

"Intended as a textbook introducing film history theory and methodology, including many different methodologies ("great man" history, economic history, aesthetic history, technological history, social history), plus the problems inherent in sorting out filmic evidence. Tries to induce critical thinking about reading and doing film history. Excellent introduction to the field."
"A break down of ways to write and think about film history from technological, economic, aesthetic and sociological viewpoints. Each chapter outlines a theory and then applies it to a case study. The final chapter uses a longer case study to show how all these aspects of film history overlap. A useful book."
