From its earliest days, the cinema has enjoyed a special kinship
with the railroad, a mutual attraction based on similar ways of
handling speed, visual perception, and the promise of a journey.
PARALLEL TRACKS is the first book to explore and explain this
relationship in both historical and theoretical terms, blending
film scholarship with railroad history. This highly original work
reveals the profound impact that the railroad and the cinema have
had on Western society and modern urban industrial culture. It will
be eagerly received by those involved in film studies, American
studies, feminist theory and the cultural study of modernity. It
will also have appeal to general readers interested in silent films
or in the history of the railroad.
