Describing in detail one of the most inventive periods in the
history of English cinema, the volumes in this celebrated series
are already established as classics in their field and represent a
major contribution to international film studies. Each volume
details the highlights of a single cinematic year, including
details of production, manufacturers of equipment, dealers and
exhibitors. This is augmented by numerous carefully chosen
illustrations and a comprehensive filmography of English films,
fiction and non-fiction, for the year. Particular attention is also
paid to the ways in which the cinema of other countries affected
the English industry. Volume 3 explains how by 1898 the playbills
of almost every prominent English music hall featured cinema shows
with musical accompaniment. Producers such as R.W. Paul, G.A. Smith
and James Williamson began to experiment with 'made up' productions
that anticipated cinema's development as a storytelling medium. The
volume also details the technical improvements in film processing
and the influence of French and American film production on the
English cinema industry.
