The screenplays are enriched by previously unpublished material from Terence Davies's personal archive, and there is an introduction to the screenplays by the film critic and curator Michael Koresky.

A collection of Terence Davies's screenplay adaptations of classic novels and plays, with a new critical introduction and previously unpublished archival material.

About the Author
Terence Davies was a British screenwriter, film director, poet, and novelist. The youngest child of a large working-class Catholic family, he was born in Kensington, Liverpool on 10th November 1945. After leaving school at 16, he worked as a clerk in a shipping office and a book-keeper in an accountancy firm for ten years. During this time he gained amateur acting experience, winning the LAMDA Gold Medal and first prize in the National Arts Awards. In 1973 Terence left Liverpool to go to drama school in Coventry, where he wrote the screen play for Children, which would become the first instalment of The Trilogy. He went on to write and direct nine feature films - Distant Voice Still Lives, The Long Day Closes, The Neon Bible, The House of Mirth, Of Time and the City, The Deep Blue Sea, Sunset Song, A Quiet Passion, and Benediction. His final script, an adaptation of Janette Jenkins' novel Firefly, which retells the last five days of the life of Noel Coward, is currently in development. He died on 7 October 2023.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
