Thompson and Bordwell's Film History: An Introduction includes all the cinemas you mention and is accurate as well.

However, they do have many sidebars that go more deeply into specific directors, movements, technologies, whatever. liz weis cuny ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
