Book synopsis

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.
