Description:... «Discrepant awareness» describes the unequal distribution of knowledge and information among various characters in a drama as well as in the relationship between dramatic characters and audience. Only a few studies of this important dramatic element have been written so far. This book attempts to define discrepant awareness and to explore its various possibilities of usage in a coherent body of dramatic literature.
