Book excerpt: "This stirring monograph is about the means which playwrights who desire to create change in the world can implement their purpose. Lerner argues that the most potent tool to profoundly mobilize an audience is the catharsis, which he explores and redefines here in a revolutionary way, clarifying the basic Aristotelian principles as to how a playwright might create it."--Publisher's description
