- This 65,000-word book is an in-depth investigation into the early history of film acting in the UK. The research and writing of the book were conducted over a period of seven years and involved analysing a wide range of primary sources, including films, instructional guides to screen acting, recorded interviews, unpublished memoirs and personal papers, along with extended runs of film magazines and newspapers. This material was located across twelve archives and library special collections in London, Cambridge and Exeter. The majority of film material was out of distribution and had to be consulted in archive viewing rooms.
