Both scholarly and accessible, Napper's book is a significant achievement that really brings the culture of 1920s Britain, and its remarkable cinema, to life. A fascinating work by one of the leading scholars of British silent cinema.' - Michael Williams, University of Southampton, UK This is a well-written, well-researched book. ...
