Harold Pinter delves into a comprehensive analysis and reevaluation of the prolific and influential work of one of the world's most studied and performed dramatists. Drawing upon extensive resources from The Harold Pinter Archive at the British Library, along with reviews and critical materials, this book offers fresh perspectives on previously established interpretations of his oeuvre. It also conducts in-depth analyses and reappraisals of select pivotal historical and contemporary productions, encompassing a selection of Pinter's most significant screenplays.
In particular, this volume aims to assess Pinter's critical reputation and legacy since his passing in 2008. It explores his multifaceted roles as a political writer and activist, from his initial disassociation and neutrality on political matters to his later exploration of political dissent and torture by totalitarian regimes in his drama. The book revisits familiar territories, such as Pinter's position as a British absurdist and the significance of memory in his work, while also venturing into new areas, such as his evolving attitudes towards gender in the context of #MeToo and queer politics. It further examines how a play like "The Caretaker" (1960) has been brought to the forefront of discussions on race through several key productions.
Published as part of the Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatist series, Harold Pinter serves as an indispensable guide to the dramatist's rich and diverse body of work. It provides students, scholars, and enthusiasts with a deep understanding of Pinter's artistic achievements and their enduring impact on the world of theater.
