Tom Stoppard
A Bibliographical History
by William Baker and Gerald N. Wachs
Tom Stoppard, whose writing career spans over half a century, is one
of the most prolific of living British authors. This bibliographical history
provides a comprehensive account of the print-published writings,
and texts in other media, which he has wholly or partially authored. It
will be an indispensable resource for all who have a scholarly interest in
modern British literature, drama and cinematic scripts.
As a creator of texts
in dramatic form for live
theatre, radio, television or
cinema, Stoppard has won
Tony awards and Oscars.
He has composed short
stories, a novel, and a large
number of non-fictional
prose writings, such as essays,
articles, published speeches
and letters to periodicals.
This bibliography records
for the first time his innumerable articles including investigative journalism, and
film and theatre reviews penned as a young working journalist. Also included are
interviews—recorded in print or other media—and interview-based articles. The
bibliography documents other texts generated from Stoppard’s interests in literary
projects, human
rights, and
other causes
as a champion
of freedom of
expression, with
forewords to books, short notes, jointly authored letters,
signatures to petitions, declarations and other material.
A Bibliographic History provides a guide to Tom Stoppard’s
obsessive creative revisions and also documents the countless
translations of his work.
