| Summary |
"In Cupboards of Curiosity Amelie Hastie rethinks female authorship within film history by expanding the historical archive to include dollhouses, scrapbooks, memoirs, cookbooks, and ephemera. Focusing on women who worked during the silent-film era, Hastie reveals how female stars, directors, and others appropriated personal or "domestic" cultural forms not only to publicize their own achievements but also to reflect on specific films and the broader film industry. Whether considering Colleen Moore's thirty-six scrapbooks or Dietrich s eccentric book Marlene Dietrich s ABC, Hastie emphasizes how these women spoke for themselves - as collectors, historians, critics, and experts - often explicitly contemplating the role their writings and material objects would play in subsequent constructions of history."--Jacket |
