Summary

To think about the role of Communism in Stoppard’s writing more broadly offers up two possible tasks: to situate how both Stoppard’s personal history and political activism since the 1970s respond to the specific events and realities of Cold War history; or, to locate how Stoppard’s drama of ideas provides a sustained engagement with Communism’s underlying theory of history and social agency.
