Transforming Faces for the Screen
Transforming Faces for the Screen
Transforming Faces for the Screen: Horror and Romance in the 1920s examines how two Hollywood stars reshaped their characters' faces on screen, drawing on research from both medical and film archives to trace the cultural reach of plastic surgery discourse in the 1920s.
The book is organised so that each main chapter focuses on a single film, whether from Lon Chaney or from the books and films of Elinor Glyn, which makes it straightforward to read alongside the films themselves with the help of illustrations of frames.
