"Ronald Harwood's Tragic Vision: A Critical Analysis of His Novels, Plays, and Screenplays offers the first critical analysis of prolific and award-winning British author, Ronald Harwood. The title is taken from his play, After the Lions, in which Sarah Bernhardt, who has lost her leg in an accident, is still driven to perform and must accept a humiliating acting job.
