The book also analyses and reappraises specific key historical and contemporary productions, including a selection of Pinter’s most significant screenplays. In particular, this volume seeks to assess Pinter’s critical reputation and legacy since his death in 2008. These include his position as a political writer and political activist – from disassociation and neutrality on the subject until relatively late in his career when his drama sought to explicitly address questions of political dissent and torture by totalitarian regimes. The book revisits some familiar territories such as Pinter’s place as a British absurdist and the role memory plays in his work, but it also sets out to explore new territories such as Pinter’s changing attitudes towards gender in the light of #MeToo and queer politics and how in particular a play such as \u003ci\u003eThe Caretaker\u003c\/i\u003e (1960) through several key productions has brought the issues of race into sharper focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatist series, \u003ci\u003eHarold Pinter\u003c\/i\u003e provides an essential and accessible guide to the dramatists’ work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56434683347318,"sku":"9781032468174","price":47.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28056821.jpg?v=1760338029","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032468174-harold-pinter","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
