The birth of cinema coincided with the heyday of the short story.
This book studies the relationship between popular magazine short
stories and the very early British films. It pairs eight intriguing
short stories on cinema with eight new essays unveiling the rich
documentary value of the original fiction and using the stories as
touchstones for a discussion of the popular culture of the period
during which cinema first developed. The short stories are by
authors ranging from the notable (Rudyard Kipling and Sax Rohmer)
to the unknown (Raymond Rayne and Mrs. H.J. Bickle); their
endearing tributes to the new cinematograph chart its development
from unintentional witness to entertainment institution.
