description: This book will critically analyze both the strengths and the weaknesses of Dennis Potter's oeuvre, while investigating him as both an "author" and a "celebrity". It re-positions the work within its cultural and social context, as well as providing new insights into its production, interpretation and reception. Re-examining the drama, it foregrounds its ambiguities and contradictions, while clarifying the complex mixture of themes, styles and techniques which produced its distinctive and often provocative appeal. Avoiding the temptation to simply celebrate both the man and his work, it offers clear and refreshingly critical view of some of the most important and innovative drama ever produced in the history of the medium.
