Though screenwriting is an essential part of the film production
process, in Britain it is yet to be fully recognised as a form in
itself. In this original study, Jill Nelmes brings the art of
screenwriting into sharp focus, foregrounding the role of the
screenwriter in British cinema from the 1930s to the present day.
Drawing on otherwise unseen drafts of screenplays, correspondence
and related material held in the Special Collections of the BFI
National Archive, Nelmes's close textual analysis of the screenplay
in its many forms illuminates both the writing and the production
process. With case studies of a diverse range of key writers - from
individuals such as Muriel Box, Robert Bolt and Paul Laverty, to
teams such as the "Carry On" writers - Nelmes exposes the depth and
breadth of this thriving field.
