" The Maciste Films of Italian Silent Cinema is udnoubtedly a major contribution fo film scholarship. "-- Gender/Sexuality/Italy "In this path-breaking book, Reich . . . provides an interdisciplinary study of the Maciste films released in Italy between 1914 and 1926, films featuring actor Bartolomeo Pagano as Maciste, the strong man of Italian silent cinema. . . . Recommended."-- Choice "By weaving together questions of stardom, genre, and national ideology through groundbreaking archival research, Dr. Reich's reading of Maciste provides a fantastically rich and exceptional contribution to star studies, Italian studies, and film history."--Giorgio Bertellini, editor of Italian Silent Cinema: A Reader "At long last, this carefully researched, clearly written and theoretically informed star study offers a fascinating and multi-faceted portrait of one of the most intriguing --- and heretofore elusive --- figures in the history of silent film. Employing a full range of interdisciplinary approaches, together with a thorough examination of archival resources and a masterful synthesis of historical details, Jacqueline Reich's The Maciste Films of Italian Silent Cinema marks a major contribution to film scholarship."--John P. Welle, University of Notre Dame "...a brilliant contribution to the study of stardom in silent film. Reich combines stylish writing, deep historical research, and intellectual sophistication to tell the story of an overlooked star from one of the most important periods of Italian cinema. Engaging in a wide-ranging but carefully considered examination of extra-cinematic and cinematic discourses, including recently restored prints, Reich persuasively argues that Maciste's populist appeal as an icon of masculinity linked to national identity demonstrates the power of cinematic stardom to merge political and visual culture in sometimes unexpected and startling ways."--Gaylyn Studlar, David May Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Washington University in St. Louis, "By weaving together questions of stardom, genre, and national ideology through groundbreaking archival research, Dr. Reich's reading of Maciste provides a fantastically rich and exceptional contribution to star studies, Italian studies, and film history." -Giorgio Bertellini, editor of Italian Silent Cinema: A Reader, "At long last, this carefully researched, clearly written and theoretically informed star study offers a fascinating and multi-faceted portrait of one of the most intriguing --- and heretofore elusive --- figures in the history of silent film.

Synopsis
Italian film star Bartolomeo Pagano's "Maciste" played a key role in his nation's narratives of identity during World War I and after. Jacqueline Reich traces the racial, class, and national transformations undergone by this Italian strongman from African slave in Cabiria (1914), his first film, to bourgeois gentleman, to Alpine soldier of the Great War, to colonial officer in Italy's African adventures. Reich reveals Maciste as a figure who both reflected classical ideals of masculine beauty and virility (later taken up by Mussolini and used for political purposes) and embodied the model Italian citizen. The 12 films at the center of the book, recently restored and newly accessible to a wider public, together with relevant extra-cinematic materials, provide a rich resource for understanding the spread of discourses on masculinity, and national and racial identities during a turbulent period in Italian history. The volume includes an illustrated appendix documenting the restoration and preservation of these cinematic treasures., The volume includes an illustrated appendix documenting the restoration and preservation of these cinematic treasures.

As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.

It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age.

I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
