- Description
- The author analyses the historical context and philosophical writings that contributed to the production of the 'diva' in early 20th century Italian film. The book offers an overview of the social, artistic and political forces surrounding the phenomenon of cinema itself, and of the diva film in particular, during this time period. Included is 'Diva Dolorosa' by Peter Delpeut, a companion DVD of film clips from 1914-1920.
