About this product
Product Information
This important book offers a thematic collection of critical essays, ideal for undergraduate courses on modern British theatre, on Harold Pinter's theatrical works, alongside new interviews with contemporary theatre practitioners. The life and works of Harold Pinter (1930-2008), a pivotal figure in British theatre, have been widely discussed, debated and celebrated internationally. For over five decades, Pinter's work traversed and redefined various forms and genres, constantly in dialogue with, and often impacting the work of, other writers, artists and activists. Combining a reconsideration of key Pinter scholarship with new contexts, voices and theoretical approaches, this book opens up fresh insights into the author's work, politics, collaborations and his enduring status as one of the world's foremost dramatists. Three sections re-contextualize Pinter as a cultural figure; explore and interrogate his influence on contemporary British playwriting; and offer a series of original interviews with theatre-makers engaging in the staging of Pinter's work today. Reconsiderations of Pinter's relationship to literary and theatrical movements such as Modernism and the Theatre of the Absurd; interrogations of the role of class, elitism and religious and cultural identity sit alongside chapters on Pinter's personal politics, specifically in relation to the Middle East.

I really like the way the different strands are woven together : reconsideration of Pinter's status, biographical ( including his Jewishness) and political factors, his relationship with the theatre of his time and his position within the major trends of twentieth century European theatre. The presence of a practising British playwright within the contributors thinking about Pinter's working methods is very interesting as is the commentary on Pinter's influence on contemporary playwrights such as Martin Crimp, Dennis Kelly, Jez Butterworth. The final section of proposed interviews will tap into the current revival of interest in Pinter production -the 2018 Bristol Old Vic all-black actors production of The Caretaker and the current high-profile and critically acclaimed season of plays presented at the Pinter Theatre in London are just two examples., I really like the way the different strands are woven together : reconsideration of Pinter's status, biographical (including his Jewishness) and political factors, his relationship with the theatre of his time and his position within the major trends of 20th century European theatre.

A worthy addition to any academic library or Pinter scholar's bookshelf." - Harold Pinter Review "I really like the way the different strands are woven together : reconsideration of Pinter's status, biographical (including his Jewishness) and political factors, his relationship with the theatre of his time and his position within the major trends of 20th century European theatre.

Offering fresh perspectives from leading scholars and theatre practitioners - on Pinter's plays, the theatrical and institutional contexts that shaped his career, and the extraordinary influence and legacy of his drama - this is a major reassessment of Pinter the playwright, collaborator, and cultural icon." -- Chris Megson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK "An essential, up-to-date collection of kaleidoscopic perceptions of Pinter's work.

" -- Yael Zarhy-Levo, Tel Aviv University, Israel "The Oxford English Dictionary records the use of the adjective Pinteresque as early as 1960, when only three years after his dramatic debut Harold Pinter was already being monumentalized. Against the myth of the sui generis artist, this book offers a competing view. Surveying the landscape of Pinter's idols, peers, and heirs - and of the global networks, cultural institutions, and material practices that made him - Chiasson, Fallow and their collaborators reveal the fertile soil in which a legacy could take root." -- R.

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
