100 years ago<\/strong> \u2026 December 1915:<\/em> The Macmillan Company<\/strong> of New York<\/strong> publishes what cinema historians will eventually consider the first English-language book to seriously appreciate the aesthetics of film, The Art of the Moving Picture<\/strong><\/span>, written by the Springfield, Illinois<\/strong>-raised poet and essayist Vachel Lindsay<\/strong>. Rarely appearing in bibliographies of his work is a follow-up entitled The Progress and Poetry of the Movies<\/strong><\/span>, released well after the untimely passing of Lindsay (1879-1931) and hard to find today. Conversely, both the 1915 and 1922 editions of Moving Picture <\/span>can easily be accessed as electronic or print, including a 2000 reissue from Random House<\/strong> that is guest edited by filmmaker Martin Scorsese<\/strong> and features an introduction by the late Stanley Kaufmann<\/strong>, film reviewer at The New Republic<\/strong><\/span> for more than a half century.
