The Sounds of Silent Films comprises up-to-date research on silent film sound, providing
a particular focus on historical performance practices combined with detailed theoretical
case studies. The contributions by eminent scholars in the fields of musicology, film
studies and media studies, as well as by curators and archivists, explore crucial
notions such as the historicity of interpretations of silent film music and the diverse
acoustic manifestations of film exhibition. The volume stands among the first to integrate
a large number of texts that cover a variety of cultural and historical sites and
their particular regional and local historical performance practices in, for example,
Swedish, Polish, British, Italian, Austrian and Indian silent cinema. The contextualizations
of silent film sound production are confronted with their reception in the United
States and form a unique comparative perspective for the well documented North American
literature
