Publisher Description:

For well over thirty years, Tom Stoppard has consistently held his position as one of England's most admired dramatists. And for this edition of "Faber Critical Guides," Jim Hunter examines four of Stoppard's finest works in the context of his entire oeuvre. Hunter writes, "Stoppard's plays present a unique interplay between fun today and the most basic and serious challenges to human understanding. He writes jokes and comic routines; but at the same time he is also writing about moral responsibility, about goodness, and about our scientific, mathematical, or philosophical understanding of reality.
