Explores the central concerns of six contemporary British dramatists: Alan Bennett, Dennis Potter, Simon Gray, Howard Brenton, David Hare, and Alan Ayckbourn. The essays demonstrate how the dramatists' work is essentially moral and relates their aspirations to the British romantic tradition of the last century while exploring how each writer has responded to changes in personal and public ethics during the 1980s.
