Charles Musser is the authority on the earliest years of the silent era, and each book he produces is extremely well-researched and highly detailed.
This book focuses on pioneering filmmaker Edwin S. Porter, a top director in his day, and his years at the Edison Manufacturing Company. Porter is often overlooked as a motion picture innovator, and Musser’s study attempts to find Porter a proper place in film history.
The book is generously illustrated with film stills, frame enlargements and promotional materials. A wealth of information and essential reading — all books on silent film should aspire to this level of quality.
