About this book

After decades of neglect, the screenplay is finally being recognized as a form that deserves serious critical analysis. This book for the first time combines detailed study of the theory and practice of screenwriting with new approaches to criticism and original studies of individual texts.

Reviews

'Steve Price explores a wide array of issues associated with movie scripts in this thorough-going study. [...] Essentially a thoughtful, well-researched examination of a too-little-studied literary form.' - Virginia Wright Wexman, Review of English Studies
