Before Nanook, Flaherty endured a number of failures, disappointments, and false starts. Drawing from the unpublished diaries of Flaherty and his wife, Frances, Robert Christopher's biography fills in crucial background in the emergence of a documentary film legend.Previous biographical emphasis on Nanook has not only obscured Flaherty's early career but also neglected the critical contributions Frances made to his development as an artist. Robert and Frances Flaherty charts her transformation from a Bryn Mawr bluestocking to the partner of a frontier explorer and offers her unique perspective as his collaborator and publicist.From iron prospector to photographer to filmmaker, Flaherty's early life is situated in the context of his explorations of the Canadian north and its peoples, the development of modern cinema, the rise of modernism, and his association with significant figures such as Alfred Adler, Franz Boas, Edward Curtis, and Alfred Steiglitz. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's native and northern series ;$v45. 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zUnited States$vDiaries 606 $aInuit in motion pictures 607 $aCanada, Northern$xIn motion pictures 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 615 0$aInuit in motion pictures. 676 $a792.4302/3/092 676 $a791.43/023/092 700 $aChristopher$b Robert J.$f1937-$01484575 701 $aFlaherty$b Frances Hubbard$01484576 701 $aFlaherty$b Robert Joseph$f1884-1951.$0707046 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782709603321 996 $aRobert and Frances Flaherty$93703287 997 $aUNINA
