The silent film Cenere (Ashes) is the only cinematic “expression” of Eleonora Duse (1858-1924), the greatest of all Italian actresses. The genesis, the development and the difficulties involved in the making of Cenere, are evident in the essays of this collection. The publication of the current collection marks the 100th anniversary of the making of Cenere.
The 1916 silent film Cenere (Ashes) features the great Italian actress Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) in her only cinematic role. In her meditative approach to her craft, she reprised for the screen all the "mother roles" she had created for the theater.

Marking the film's 100th anniversary, this collection of essays brings together for the first time in English a range of scholarship. The difficulties involved in the making of the film are explored--Duse's perfectionism was too advanced for the Italian movie industry of the 1910s. Her work is discussed within the creative, political and historical context of the silent movie industry as it developed in wartime Italy.

Maria Pia Pagani is an adjunct professor of theatrical literature, art of directing and theatre discipline at the University of Pavia (Italy). She has written many essays—in Italian, English, Russian—about Duse. She is a member of the Pen Club International and the managing editor for Italy in “The Theatre Times,” a portal for global theatre news. Paul Fryer is an academic, author, editor and researcher, based in Kent (UK). He has lectured and presented film screenings internationally and is a visiting professor at the Universities of Leeds, London South Bank and East London.
