description: Tan (English language and literature, National U. of Singapore) explores how stylistic methods apply to drama texts, taking as an example Tom Stoppard's 1975 play Travesties , which turns the discussion toward literary parody as an intertextual mode. He places stylistics in a historical and procedural framework, and considers ideological and procedural impasses that have stymied analysis. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
