The triumph capped her already lengthy involvement with cinema while enabling the indefatigable actress to reinvent herself in an era of technological and generational change. Placing Bernhardt at the center of the industry's first two decades, Victoria Duckett challenges the perception of her as an anachronism unable to appreciate film's qualities. Instead, cinema's substitution of translated title cards for her melodic French deciphered Bernhardt for Anglo-American audiences. It also allowed the aging actress to appear in the kinds of longer dramas she could no longer physically sustain onstage. As Duckett shows, Bernhardt contributed far more than star quality. Her theatrical practice on film influenced how the young medium changed the visual and performing arts. Her promoting of experimentation, meanwhile, shaped the ways audiences looked at and understood early cinema. A leading-edge reappraisal of a watershed era, Seeing Sarah Bernhardt tells the story of an icon who bridged two centuries--and changed the very act of watching film." -- Publisher's description 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Bernhardt, Sarah,|d1844-1923|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80057050|xCareer in motion pictures. 600 17 Bernhardt, Sarah,|d1844-1923.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/54697 650 0 Silent films|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85122472|zFrance|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79006404-781|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 0 Motion picture industry|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85088047|zFrance|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79006404-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Silent films.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1118542 650 7 Motion picture industry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1027150 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 France.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204289 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDuckett, Victoria.|tSeeing Sarah Bernhardt.|dUrbana : University of Illinois Press, [2015] |w(DLC) 2015012975 830 0 Women and film history international.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2009075941 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1091847|zOnline eBook.
