With its unique range of close readings breaking widely diverse ground, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Screenplay Theory proposes a refreshing breadth of different approaches (rather than one unified theory) to the study of the screenplay as a multi-faceted object of inquiry, text and process that not only furthers but goes well beyond existing scholarship. Gay and Igelstrom draw together a collection of multi-cultural dimensions into one comprehensive volume that will, doubtlessly, be a key reference and a new touchstone for any scholar. * Paolo Russo, Programme Director for Media Arts & Photography, Oxford Brookes University, UK * The editors of this essential survey of screenwriting studies identify a Big Bang moment around 2010, when a hitherto almost wholly disregarded form of writing suddenly burst into critical view. The ensuing theoretical debates rippled out across multiple disciplines, and this all-new collection maps out the currently visible sources of light in theories of narration, structure, cinematic language and creative practice. With incisive contributions from both established and emerging scholars, and always keeping the screenplay text as its focal point, this will be an indispensable resource for all future researchers. * Steven Price, Professor Emeritus in Literature and Film, Bangor University, UK *
