These two volumes examine a significant but previously neglected
moment in French cultural history: the emergence of French film
theory and criticism before the essays of Andr Bazin. Richard Abel
has devised an organizational scheme of six nearly symmetrical
periods that serve to "bite into" the discursive flow of early
French writing on the cinema. Each of the periods is discussed in a
separate and extensive historical introduction, with convincing
explications of the various concepts current at the time. In each
instance, Abel goes on to provide a complementary anthology of
selected texts in translation. Amounting to a portable archive,
these anthologies make available a rich selection of nearly one
hundred and fifty important texts, most of them never before
published in English.
