This book explores the significance of professional writers and
their role in developing British storytelling in the 1920s and
1930s, and their influence on the poetics of today's transmedia
storytelling. Modern techniques can be traced back to the early
twentieth century when film, radio and television provided
professional writers with new formats and revenue streams for their
fiction. The book explores the contribution of four British
authors, household names in their day, who adapted work for film,
television and radio. Although celebrities between the wars,
Clemence Dane, G.B. Stern, Hugh Walpole and A.E.W Mason have fallen
from view. The popular playwright Dane, witty novelist Stern and
raconteur Walpole have been marginalised for being German, Jewish,
female or gay and Mason's contribution to film has been overlooked
also. It argues that these and other vocational authors should be
reassessed for their contribution to new media forms of
storytelling. The book makes a significant contribution in the
fields of media studies, adaptation studies, and the literary
middlebrow.
