Screenwriters are storytellers and dream builders. They forge new worlds and beings; bringing them to life through storylines and idiosyncratic details. Yet up until now; no one has told the story of these creative and indispensable artists. The Writers is the only comprehensive qualitative analysis of the history of writers and writing in the film; television; and streaming media industries in America.

I laughed out loud in places; hummed along as I read lyrics; and searched online for other songs to complete my experience of Battle Hymns. You do not have to be a "buff" or have a detailed understanding of the Civil War to enjoy this work; it is for the historian; the music lover; and all of us who have been touched by the war and its effects. Well written and expertly researched; this was an enjoyable read and it deserves its place on bookshelves across America. As an aside: knowing Christian as a friend; it was easy for me to hear his voice in the passages; however; thankfully...not in the lyrics. Again; well done; well done!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A very welcome findBy allpurposeguruIn this Civil War sesquicentennial period; its great to find this book on its music. I have enjoyed reading it immensely and will find it very helpful in my own research and writing on the subject. The documentation and bibliography are impressive. I wish the links to the endnotes worked better; but at least I can bookmark stuff I have to find frequently.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
