| Parallel Tracks: The Railroad and Silent Cinema |
| By : Lynne Kirby |
Parallel Tracks is the first book to explore and explain the railroad and cinema relationship in both theoretical and historical terms, blending film scholarship with railroad history. Describing the train as a mechanical double for the cinema, Lynne Kirby gives her romantic topic a compelling twist. She views the railroad/cinema romance in light of the technological and cultural instability underlying modernity and presents the railroad and cinema as complementary experiences that shaped the modern world and its subjects - the passengers and spectators who traveled through that world.
