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.
