The silent muse: the memoirs of Asta Nielsen

Abstract

up the evidence for the potential of a Brunel less constrained by the industry. A curator at the British Film Institute, Botting clearly understands the value of archival research to illuminate a subject such as this; the book is a showcase for the value of such materials to uncover and interrogate the past and engage new audiences, with the BFI’s Adrian Brunel Special Collection here to the fore. Highly recommended.
