- Title
Going Places: The Pleasures of Production and Imperial Visual Cultures in the Stratemeyer Syndicate's The Moving Picture Boys.
- Authors
CHARBONNEAU, STEPHEN M.
- Abstract
The article presents a literary criticism of the book series "The Moving Picture Boys," focusing on the second volume, "The Moving Picture Boys in the West," by Victor Appleton, released in 1913 by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. It considers how the book, focusing on boy filmmakers, mixes the juvenile fiction genres of career story and travel story. The author examines the book's depiction of childhood and child labor and explores its relation to imperial visual cultures of the 1910s.
