Abstract

Abstract

As the representative dramatist in the Second Wave of the Post-War English drama, Howard Brenton is well-known for his masterpiece, The Romans in Britain. Decoding the British history from an unconventional perspective, the play launches its ruthless attack on the traditional views about British nationality, rereading its history and culture in a new way. In his work, the 2000-year British history is no longer an evolution of civilization, but a destuctive process of violence in which dreams get perpetually deferred.
