Description

This collection of fifteen essays offers a guide to the work of Tom Stoppard and addresses all of his major work. It provides insights into the recent plays, Arcadia and Invention of Love, as well as the first extended examination of his work for the screen, including a discussion of his coauthored, academy award-winning screenplay Shakespeare in Love. Photographs from key productions, a biography and chronology complete the volume and prepare the reader for future work by this extraordinary writer.

Reviews

"Kelly(Texas A & M Univ.) maintains the high standards set by previous volumes in the "Cambridge Companions to Literature" series...The level of writing is consistently high and sufficiently clear that nonexperts should find it accessible...Strongly recommended." CHOICE
