The Fun Factory: The Keystone Film Company and the Emergence of Mass Culture

Even as Keystone Film Company brought 'lowbrow' comic traditions to the screen, the studio played a key role in reformulating those traditions for a new, cross-class audience. This book explores the dimensions of that process, arguing for a fresh understanding of working-class cultural practices within early cinematic mass culture.
