- Abstract
The effect is carefully organised by providing a theoretical part about the historical Putney Debates of 1647, which is then transcended through the individual experience of the situation in Ward's subsequent analysis of the related imagined scenes of Churchill's play. Following Richard Rortry, Costas Douzinas, and Nussbaum, Ward conceives of history as the play of ideas into powerful drama (93) and asserts the relevance of narrative imagination. 4 Ward, Ian.
