Description

This collection of Terence Davies's screenplays brings together his powerful autobiographical work, from the films that comprise The Terence Davies Trilogy (1983) to his 2008 poetic documentary Of Time and the City of 2008, and his biopics of the poets Emily Dickinson and Siegfried Sassoon. The screenplays are supported by new critical introductions and by film stills and previously unpublished material from Terence Davies's personal archive.
