"This most recent volume in the Screen Decades series, which looks at American culture and American cinema decade by decade, offers ten essays on the cinema of what F. Scott Fitzgerald termed 'the jazz age.' These fresh, insightful essays spark attention on the era of emancipation, Prohibition, materialism, the arrival of radio and sound films, and, of course, bobbed hair. Recommended."
(Choice) “There is nothing like this series. Screen Decades firmly situates American cinema in the realms of material culture, popular culture, cultural narrative, reception analysis, and industrial history.”
