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.
