Parallel Tracks by Lynne Kirby

This highly original work reveals the profound impact that the railroad and the cinema have had on Western society and modern urban industrial culture.


“The triumph of this book is in bringing film theory and social history together to form a powerful collective that makes this examination of these two key industries compulsive reading" (Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, Vol. 18, No. 3, 1998) "Kirby's well-researched and well-written text places the separate, but as the author convincingly argues, conceptually related phenomena of silent cinema and the railway within both historical and theoretical contexts." (American Studies, Vol. 32, No. 2, 1998)


Lynne Kirby is a Senior Producer at Court Television Network. Her articles on the railroad and cinema have appeared in major American film journals.
