Description de l'ouvrage:
Working across contemporary histories of film and screenwriting, and US screenwriting manuals from the 1910s and 1920s, this volume breaks new ground in thinking about the nature of scripting, and how screenwriting took shape as a particular kind of practice.

À propos de l'auteur :
Steven Maras is an Associate Professor of Media and Communication at the University of Western Australia.

For film scholars and especially film historians, the rigour and attention to detail in the discussion of the history and evolution of screenwriting practice is invaluable. Harry Kirchner, Screening the Past

...offers ways of thinking about the script beyond simply the blueprint version. Nina Seja, Media International Australia

...should prove a seminal text for the study of screenwriting. Adam Ganz, Journal of Screenwriting

If you want to think seriously about screenwriting, you ought to pick this one up. Tom Stempel, Slant Magazine

Steven Maras' achievement is to set out a number of parameters and future signposts for focusing "on less well understood aspects of screen discourse", to raise the bar on informed exchanges that acknowledge these little understood aspects. Maryella Hatfield, Global Media Journal
