Sarah Gleeson-White will finalize her book manuscript, Literature in Motion: Film and the Formation of U.S. Literary Culture, which is under contract to Oxford University Press (USA). Drawing on extensive print and visual archival materials, it finds the emergence and development of motion pictures from the 1890s and across the silent-film era constituted a defining moment in U.S. literary history, one that would alter literature’s institutions and practices in fundamental and far-reaching ways.
