more broadly, aesthetic and cultural consciousness, by bringing together the study of the
terms and strategies ofearlv writings about film with

in the same period. She gives
a nov
understanding of the ways in which early writers
about film

In examining the writings of earlv film critics and commentators in tandem with those of
more specifically literary figures, including
