"Tom Stoppard Is Gone. In ‘Arcadia,’ His Wit Still Sparkles." - The New York Times

"Widely regarded as Stoppard’s masterpiece, 'Arcadia,' which premiered in 1993, is nothing less than a dialectical inquiry into the meaning of life. The characters’ discourse covers a dizzying range of subjects — algebra, thermodynamics, botany, computer algorithms — but is underpinned by a series of simple binaries: the difference between classical and romantic temperaments; determinism versus free will; logic versus emotions; head versus heart."

I distinctly remember getting the impression that people used to esteem "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" more.
