Closet Drama

From Wikipedia: A closet drama is a play that is not intended to be performed onstage. My paper dictionary, previously mentioned here and elsewhere, concurs on this.

Why do I mention it? I don't know. I like having names for interesting things.

Tendentious

^z, in his excerpts from Z. A. Melzak's autobiography, has led me to another word: tendentiousness. To refer to my Webster's New World Dictionary, Second College Edition (somewhat abbreviated):
ten·den·tious adj. characterized by a deliberate tendency or aim; esp., advancing a definite point of view: also sp. ten·den’cious

This strikes me as another useful term. I am glad to find it.
