Synopsis

Drama and democracy are critically entwined. This book considers some of the interconnections. A posthumous letter to Raymond Williams asks questions about his neglected television plays. The ambivalent politics of popular drama, from melodrama to TV, is analysed. And a highly ambitious and elliptical, but as yet barely imagined, work tries to trace the complex relations between the emergence of both democracy and drama in classical Athens and our ongoing problems in implementing what we might mean by democracy.

Praise for Sharratt's previous work :
.. an absolutely important first-rate book —Terry Eagleton
.. fascinating, entertaining, . . very impressive—David Lodge
.. the most richly-packed book by an English critic in recent years—Nicholas Tredell
.. astonishing, powerful, playful, brilliantly clever and attractive—Fred Inglis
