"Unlike its predecessor, 'The De Gaulle Story,' Faulkner's most ambitious attempt to draft an original screenplay, 'Battle Cry' demonstrates Faulkner's skill as an adaptor and collaborator. Though Faulkner was a principal writer on the project, he benefited from the active collaboration of director-writer Hawks, scriptwriter-consultant William Bacher, and others." In a foreword to the volume, Meta Carpenter Wilde and Orin Borsten recall Hollywood as Faulkner knew it in 1943, while the editors' introduction traces the evolution of the screenplay and links the work of Faulkner's fiction. Illustrated with related documents from the Brodsky collection.; 8vo; [50], 409 pages; 35.

Author Bio

William Faulkner

William Faulkner (born September 25, 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi) was an influential writer, having written multiple novels, poems, short stories, and an occasional screenplay. Some of Faulkner’s most prominent novels include such as The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying. Unknown to most initially, Faulkner became one of the most important writers in history when he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949 for “his powerful and atistically unique contribution to the modern American novel”. Faulkner was also a two-time Pulitzer prize winner (1955 and 1962) for his minor novels, A Fable and his last novel, The Reivers. He died in Byhalia, Mississippi on July 6, 1962.
