Samenvatting
Cool Britannia? draws on new research to create a critical framework for approaching the drama of this period. It examines the work of established playwrights as well as the generation of young writers who emerged in the mid-1990s and explores a wide variety of key issues including cultural politics and constructions of race and gender.
