Produktbeschreibung
Stoppardian Drama:

The approach towards a text through a postmodernist
and counter-postmodernist consciousness brings into
mind new methods and theories of criticism like New
Historicism. This study, however, is not merely
committed to an analysis of the postmodernist aspects
of (Czech-born British playwright) Tom Stoppard s
drama with a New Historicist stance; rather it aims
to exploit or make use of the New Historicist hints
to understand what Stoppard strives to do while
writing his plays, because there are striking
parallelisms between Stoppard s technique of creating
his plays and the New Historicist critics method of
analysing history and literary texts. In a way
Stoppard plays the role of a new historicist while
writing his brilliant comedies of ideas. This book,
thus, aims to show the parallelism between the New
Historicist approach and Stoppard s playwriting by a
close reading of Travesties, Every Good Boy Deserves
Favour, Arcadia.
The three plays that have been studied in this book
are most likely to serve as reflections of the new
historicist practice within a fictional framework
and prove the very claim that Stoppard is a new
historicist playwright.
