The most comprehensive volume on one of the most controversial
directors in American film history A Companion to D.W. Griffith
offers an exhaustive look at the first acknowledged auteur of the
cinema and provides an authoritative account of the director's
life, work, and lasting filmic legacy. The text explores how
Griffith's style and status advanced along with cinema's own
development during the years when narrative became the dominant
mode, when the short gave way to the feature, and when film became
the pre-eminent form of mass entertainment. Griffith was at the
centre of each of these changes: though a contested figure, he
remains vital to any understanding of how cinema moved from
nickelodeon fixture to a national pastime, playing a significant
role in the cultural ethos of America. With the renewed interest in
Griffith's contributions to the film industry, A Companion to D.W.
Griffith offers a scholarly look at a career that spanned more than
25 years. The editor, a leading scholar on D.W. Griffith, and the
expert contributors collectively offer a unique account of one of
the monumental figures in film studies. Presents the most
authoritative, complete account of the director's life, work, and
lasting legacy Builds on the recent resurgence in the director's
scholarly and popular reputation Edited by a leading authority on
D.W. Griffith, who has published extensively on this controversial
director Offers the most up-to-date, singularly comprehensive
volume on one of the monumental figures in film studies
