"The great success of Cinema and Modernism derives from the
author's constant methodological insistence on how cinema and
literature matter for each other in modernism, and his methodology
demands that he deal rigorously with both film and literature on
their own terms and as mutually constitutive in their
will-to-automatism. " (James Joyce Quarterly, Summer
2008)
“Trotter conducts his enquiry with admirable historical rigor, rightly castigating approaches which have proved anachronistic in relation to the film-making of the period. He also wisely avoids simplistic models of causality and influence, in favor of subtler aesthetic ‘convergences’ and ‘parallelism’. This grounds his case for interdependency: that we can’t fully understand cinema without literary Modernism, and vice-versa.” (The Review of English Studies, April 2009)
