A reassessment of the achievements of British playwright Harold Pinter by an international group of scholars. This work contains eighteen essays that represent the state of Pinter criticism and an affirmation of Pinter's preeminence in modern British theatre.
" . . . insights and expertise which all together furnish a useful addition to Pinter studies." —Modern Language Review

Essays by both scholars and theater artists examine the work of British playwright Harold Pinter. The essays focus on performance, politics, gender issues, interpersonal manipulation, style and language, on influence, and on the interplay between Pinter's theatrical and film-scripting careers. Illustrated.
