| book description |

The most comprehensive volume on one of the most controversial directors in American film historyÂ A Companion to D.W. Griffith offers an exhaustive look at the first acknowledged auteur of the cinema and provides an authoritative account of the directorâ€™s life, work, and lasting filmic legacy. The text explores how Griffithâ€™s style and status advanced along with cinemaâ€™s own development during the years when narrative became the dominant mode, when the short gave way to the feature, and when film became the pre-eminent form of mass entertainment. Griffith was at the centre of each of these changes: though a contested figure, he remains vital to any understanding of how cinema moved from nickelodeon fixture to a national pastime, playing a significant role in the cultural ethos of America. With the renewed interest in Griffithâ€™s contributions to the film industry, A Companion to D.W. Griffith offers a scholarly look at a career that spanned more than 25 years. The editor, a leading scholar on D.W. Griffith, and the expert contributors collectively offer a unique account of one of the monumental figures in film studies. Presents the most authoritative, complete account of the directorâ€™s life, work, and lasting legacy Builds on the recent resurgence in the directorâ€™s scholarly and popular reputation Edited by a leading authority on D.W. Griffith, who has published extensively on this controversial directorÂ Offers the most up-to-date, singularly comprehensive volume on one of the monumental figures in film studies
