About the book
About H.G. Wells, Modernity and the Movies (Liverpool University Press - Liverpool Science Fiction Texts & Studies)
"This book investigates Wells's interest in cinema and related media technologies, by placing it back into the contemporary cultural and scientific contexts giving rise to them. Previous studies have concentrated on adaptations: this study accounts for the specifically (proto)cinematic techniques and concerns of Wells's texts. It also focuses on contemporary film-making 'in dialogue' with his ideas. Alongside Hollywood's later transactions, it gives equal weight to neglected British and continental European dimensions."--Jacket.
