Abstract

Forgotten and relegated outside the literary canon today, Iris Barry was a cross-border writer in many ways. She became the first film critic in England and crossed the ocean to found the MoMA’s film library and to create the first academic program for film studies. She brought cinema from film clubs to museums and universities, raising it to the category of art. As a writer, she showed a great ability to shift her style and register based on the publication and the target readers she was addressing, from the little reviews of British Modernism to the newspaper that broke all records in the early 20th century, the Daily Mail, as well as in the Daily Mail Atlantic Edition.
