Kristin Thompson has a section on intertitles in *The Classical
Hollywood Cinema: Film Style &Mode of Production to 1960*, by
David Bordwell, Janet Staiger, and Kristin Thompson, New York:
columbia U Press, 1985 (also possibly Routledge). Particularly
useful for your interests is Chapter 15, although there are other
references to the uses of titles.
