Modernist writing has always been linked with cinema. The recent
renaissance in early British film studies has allowed cinema to
emerge as a major historical context for literary practice.
Treating cinema as a historical rather than an aesthetic influence,
this book analyzes the role of early British film culture in
literature, thus providing the first account of cinema as a cause
for modernism.
Shail s study draws on little-known sources to create a detailed
picture of cinema following its second birth as both institution
and medium. The book presents a comprehensive account of how
UK-based modernism originated as a consequence of rather than a
conscious aesthetic response to this new component of the cultural
landscape. Film s new accounts of language, endeavor, time,
collectivity and political change are first considered, then
related to the patterns that comprised modernist texts. Authors
discussed include Ford Madox Ford, Joseph Conrad, Wyndham Lewis,
Ezra Pound, H.D., James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and Dorothy
Richardson."
