SCREENWRITING POETICS AND THE SCREEN IDEA
Series: Palgrave Studies in Screenwriting
Series Editors: Steven Maras, Kathryn Millard, J.J. Murphy
An original investigation into how screenwriting works; the practices, creative
'poetics', texts and documents that serve the screen idea, and how to study them.
Using a range of film, media and creative theories, it includes new case studies on
the successful ITV soap Emmerdale, Hitchcock's first major screenwriter and David
Lean's unfinished film, Nostromo.
Dr Ian W. Macdonald is co-founder of the Screenwriting Research Network
(www.screenwritingresearch.com), and co-editor of the Journal of Screenwriting.
He worked for the BBC, IBA, London Weekend Television, and the British Film
Institute, and as Head of the Northern Film School at Leeds Beckett, joining the
University of Leeds in 2006.
‘Enlightening… I recommend especially the chapter Hitchcock’s Forgotten
Screenwriter… very fine… painstaking research and thoughtful theorizing.’ -
Emeritus Prof. David Bordwell, University of Wisconsin, Madison.
'Fascinating exemplary scholarship on Eliot Stannard.' - Emeritus Prof. Charles Barr,
author of The English Hitchcock.
'Should be required reading for ourselves and our students. Apart from many other
excellent qualities, it contains a tremendously useful chapter on the screenwriting
manuals, in which he synthesises, with admirable clarity, their various approaches
to the prevailing orthodoxy of the three act structure in only 25 pages. Hours of
classroom time can now be instantly replaced with one reading from MacDonald!' -
Prof. Jonathan Powell, Royal Holloway, University of London
'Rigorously methodical, carefully structured and closely argued' - Steven Price,
Bangor University.
‘Closely woven arguments and excellently deployed examples leave the reader
feeling s/he has a new set of tools, and the confidence and desire to use them.
…valuably revitalises the field.’ - Sarah Cardwell, University of Kent.
‘Together with other books in this series, this book is a quantum leap for the stillyoung
area of screenwriting research.’ - Claus Tieber, University of Vienna.
‘Excellent… sustains the reader’s engagement impressively well…. a book that
students and academics involved in screenwriting, film and TV studies need to
read.’ - Kristyn Gorton, University of York.
