19th Century Film Studies!,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Domesticity: From How-to Manual to Hollywood Melodrama (Hardcover)
This book examines the discourse on domestic labor across the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on how-to manuals, classical Hollywood films, and more recent avant-garde works. The author provides an engaging, sophisticated and well-written history of how we have understood (or, more accurately, obscured) domestic labor as a key component of American national identity. By taking the 19th century into account, the author provides one of the more insightful analyses of American film melodrama and women's cinema. This book is crucial for anyone wanting to understand the role of gender in American modern culture and cinema.
