Hugo Munsterberg on Film: The Photoplay: A Psychological Study and Other Writings

Hugo M&nsterberg’s The Photoplay (1916) is one of the first and most important early works of film theory. M&nsterberg’s work on the emerging art of cinema remains a key document for film scholars, but it has long been out of print. In this new edition, Allan Langdale provides a critical introduction to the seminal text and collects numerous hard-to-find writings on film by M&nsterberg.
