Now look, lots of people give Wiki a hard time. How dare you read Wiki.
The wiki page on Editing isn't bad. I know you'll read it, I did. I'm not ashamed.
It's a decent entry point, but can't take you as far as you need to go.
I also read Karel Reisz's excellent Technique of Film Editing, a copy of which is in the library.
It details, shot by shot in many cases, many of the early attempts at editing and what was learnt by the editor and how it was carried on by the next generation of editors.
It's invaluable.
If you don't read that, then might I suggest you read the following below. It isn't in the order I'd like but it does detail all the major movements and players in editing history as well as a bucket load of other stuff.

The major movers and shakers in the history of editing are:
Edwin S. Porter
D.W. Griffith
Leo Kuleshov
Sergi Eisenstein
There are of course, lots of others, but for our sakes we'll look at these four.
