Beschreibung:
The screenplay is currently the focus of extensive critical re-evaluation, however, as yet there has been no comprehensive study of its historical development. International in scope and placing emphasis on the development and variety of screenplay texts themselves, this book will be an important and innovative addition to the current literature.
This book demonstrates the variety of textual forms that screenplays have taken from the beginnings of cinema to the present day.
