4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent resource, December 8, 2011
This review is from: Tom Stoppard's Arcadia (Modern Theatre Guides) (Paperback)
I am a theatre director and a college professor. I think this book is very helpful in understanding the myriad strands of this brilliant play. I plan on purchasing it for all my actors. It's a great way to begin research!

1.0 out of 5 stars
not as good as the play, April 30, 2011
This review is from: Tom Stoppard's Arcadia (Modern Theatre Guides) (Paperback)
While helpful in placing "Arcadia" in the context of Stoppard's intellectual career, this book is a good deal drier, more superficial, and less nuanced than the play. In my opinion, it is not necessary for, or even particularly helpful to a rich appreciation of reading and watching the play.
