The Sounds of Early Cinema
Richard Abel
Deals with a crucial phenomenon: the ubiquitous presence of sound in early cinema. This title argues that in order to understand cinema's emergence, especially as a cultural practice at the turn of the last century, we have to recognise that the experience of sound and hearing was no less significant than that of images and seeing.
