Reviews

"""If instructors want a textbook about the 'medieval ambience' in early film, they will be primarily interested in the first half of this book. Others who chiefly wish to know more about the influence of medieval art on fashion and architecture, especially in Hollywood, during this period will connect better with the second half.""--SMART: Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching ""The book is filled with troves of facts and narratives about early film and peppered with sumptuous fashion plates, photos of architectural masterpieces, and wonderful film stills.""--The Journal of Dress History."


The book is filled with troves of facts and narratives about early film and peppered with sumptuous fashion plates, photos of architectural masterpieces, and wonderful film stills. --The Journal of Dress History.
