Zusatztext

<p><em>James Graham</em> is one of the UK¿s leading dramatists, a multi-award-winning writer who for almost 20 years has analysed and articulated concepts of power and authority in modern British society. <em>James Graham: State of the Nation Playwright</em> is the first full-length assessment of the writer¿s output, applying core thematic areas - Democracy, Anarchy, Famous Faces and Television - to understand how different power bases operate in modern society, their effectiveness and influence, and how they came to pre-eminence during the last 70 years. The book concludes with an evaluation of Graham¿s contribution to state-of-the-nation debates, Britain¿s cycles of decline and its consequences for understanding contemporary national identity.</p>
