Book Synopsis Silent Film & the Triumph of the American Myth by : Paula Marantz Cohen
Book excerpt: Cohen argues that silent film allowed America to sever its literary and linguistic ties to Europe and develop an original form of expression compatible with American strengths and weaknesses. She connects the rise of film and the rise of America as a cultural center and 20th century world power.
