Dear Jeremy,

Duke University Press has just published *Seeing by Electricity: The
Emergence of Television, 1878-1939
<https://www.dukeupress.edu/seeing-by-electricity>* by Doron Galili. He
traces television's early history, from the fantastical devices initially
imagined fifty years before the first television prototypes to the
emergence of broadcast television in the 1930s, showing how television was
always discussed and treated in relation to cinema.

Francesco Casetti, author of *The Lumière Galaxy: Seven Key Words for the
Cinema to Come*, says “Digging into television’s origins and discovering
secret lineages and unexpected ancestors, Doron Galili unearths the true
reasons that fiercely opposed—and indissolubly linked—television and
cinema. A masterful contribution to media archeology.”

Best wishes,
Camille
