Book Presentation:
William Faulkner at Twentieth Century-Fox: The Annotated Screenplays presents for the first time and in one volume the five screenplays Faulkner wrote while under contract to Twentieth Century-Fox in the mid 1930s and a sixth he wrote in 1952. An informative introduction describes Faulkners screenwriting practices, such as adaptation and collaboration, and contextualizes these within a broader genealogy of Hollywood screenwriting and within one of the most important moments in the history of American cinema. Each of the six screenplays appears in full with scholarly annotations, and brief prefatory essays elucidate their evolution over various drafts and with various co-writers.
Contains:
The road to glory
Banjo on my knee
The last slaver
Splinter fleet
Drums along the Mohawk
The left hand of God

Press Reviews:
"This collection is obviously a valuable contribution to Faulkner studies, and an interesting read for the fan of early Hollywood. But because of the care with which she has edited and annotated these screenplays, along with the excellent introduction, Sarah Gleeson-Whites massive volume has exciting implications for many other scholars working on the screen-play and authorship more generally." - Faulkner Journal
