Description

This second volume of Terence Davies's screenplays brings together his adaptations of classic novels and plays, including his 1995 film of John Kennedy Toole's coming-of-age novel The Neon Bible; his adaptation of Edith Wharton's classic The House of Mirth, starring Gillian Anderson as the young New York socialite Lily Bart; his 2011 film adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play The Deep Blue Sea, and Sunset Song, his adaptation of the Great War novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon. The screenplays are enriched by previously unpublished material from Terence Davies's personal archive, and there is an introduction to the screenplays by the film critic and curator Michael Koresky.
