Before the advent of television, cinema offered serialized films as
a source of weekly entertainment. This book traces the history from
the days of silent screen heroines to the sound era's daring
adventure serials, unearthing a thriving film culture beyond the
self-contained feature. Through extensive archival research, Ilka
Brasch details the aesthetic appeals of film serials within their
context of marketing and exhibition, looking at how they adapted
the pleasures of a flourishing crime fiction culture to both serial
visual culture and the affordances of the media-modernity of the
early 20th century. The study furthermore traces the relationship
of film serials to the broadcast models of radio and television and
thereby shows how film serials introduced modes of storytelling
that informed popular culture even beyond the serial's demise.
