"Arcadia" is considered by many critics to be Stoppard's masterpiece, a work that weds his early career love for words and ideas with his later career emphasis on storytelling and emotional engagement.With its engaging alteration between past and present "Arcadia" offers a comedic and entertaining exploration of chaos theory, entropy, the Second Law of thermodynamics, iterated algorithms, fractals, and other concepts culled the realms of math and science. This guide provides a comprehensive critical introduction to the play, giving students a much-needed overview of the play's background and context including Stoppard's source material as well as full discussion of the text and its performance history to date."--From publisher description.
