"This impressive volume—all of it immensely readable, fascinating,
and coherent—leads one to appreciate the breadth and scope of
global cinema. Gaudreault and his talented contributors provided a
fresh, lively, informative, engaging chronological survey of the
first decades of American film. Highly recommended."

“There is nothing like this series. Screen Decades firmly situates
American cinema in the realms of material culture, popular culture,
cultural narrative, reception analysis, and industrial
history.”
