"Before the advent of television, cinema offered serialised films as a source of weekly
entertainment. This book traces the history from the days of silent screen heroines
to the sound era's daring adventure serials, unearthing a thriving film culture beyond
the self-contained feature. Through extensive archival research, Ilka Brasch details
the aesthetic appeals of film serials within their context of marketing and exhibition
and that they adapt the pleasures of a flourishing crime fiction culture to both serialised
visual culture and the affordances of the media-modernity of the early 20th century.
The study furthermore traces how film serials brought the broadcast model of radio
and television to the big screen and thereby introduced models of serial storytelling
that informed popular culture even beyond the serial's demise."--Publisher
