520    "The most famous stage actress of the nineteenth century, 
       Sarah Bernhardt enjoyed a surprising renaissance when the 
       1912 multi-reel film Queen Elizabeth brought her 
       international acclaim. 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
