Harold Pinter's Shakespeare

Harold Pinter's Shakespeare

Charles Morton

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
This book charts the impact of Shakespeare’s works on Harold Pinter’s career as a playwright.This exploration traces Shakespeare’s influence through Pinter’s pre-theatre writings (1950-1956), to his collaboration with Sir Peter Hall (starting properly at the RSC in 1962 and continuing until 1983), and a late, unpublished screenplay for an adaptation of The Tragedy of King Lear (2000). Adding to studies of playwrights such as Samuel Beckett and James Joyce as significant influences on Harold Pinter’s work, this study aims to highlight the significant and lasting impact that Shakespeare had both formatively and performatively on the playwright’s career. Through exploring this influence, Morton gains not only a greater understanding of the shaping of Pinter’s artistic outlook and how this affected his writing, but it also sheds light on the various forms of Shakespeare’s continued influence on new writing, and what can be gained from this.This study will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies.

Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter

Graham Saunders

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
nidottu
Harold Pinter provides an up-to-date analysis and reappraisal concerning the work of one of the most studied and performed dramatists in the world.Drawing extensively from The Harold Pinter Archive at the British Library as well as reviews and other critical materials, this book offers new insights into previously established views about his work. 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 The Caretaker (1960) through several key productions has brought the issues of race into sharper focus.Part of the Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatist series, Harold Pinter provides an essential and accessible guide to the dramatists’ work.

Simon Gibbons embarks on a detailed and groundbreaking study in this book, examining the profound influence of Harold Rosen, a pivotal figure who transformed English education in the latter half of the twentieth century. Gibbons offers the first comprehensive analysis of Rosen’s revolutionary contributions to progressive English teaching methodologies that continue to resonate in classrooms worldwide.

The book illuminates how Rosen’s work at the London Institute of Education, alongside colleagues James Britton and Nancy Martin, fundamentally reshaped understanding of language across the curriculum while maintaining an unwavering commitment to educational equity. Gibbons makes a compelling case for the contemporary relevance and necessary rediscovery of Rosen’s educational philosophy. This volume serves as an essential resource for student teachers, practicing educators and academics in English and language arts while also offering valuable insights to educators across disciplines interested in language’s role in learning. By reconnecting readers with Rosen’s enduring legacy, the book provides both historical perspective and practical guidance for addressing current educational challenges.

Harold Pinter's Party Time

Harold Pinter's Party Time

White G. D.

Routledge
2017
sidottu
All you have do is shut up and enjoy the hospitality.' TerryHarold Pinter's Party Time (1991) is an extraordinary distillation of the playwright's key concerns. Pulsing with political anger, it marks a stepping stone on Pinter's path from iconic dramatist of existential unease to Nobel Prize-winning poet of human rights. G. D. White situates this underrated play within a recognisably 'Pinteresque' landscape of ambiguous, brittle social drama while also recognising its particularity: Party Time is haunted by Augusto Pinochet's right-wing coup against Salvador Allende's democratically elected government in Chile. This book considers the play and its confederate works in the dual context of Pinter's literary career and burgeoning international concern with human rights and freedom of expression.White contrasts Pinter's uneasy relationship with the UK's powerful elite with the worldwide acclaim garnered by his dramatic eviscerations of power.

Harold Laski and American Liberalism

Harold Laski and American Liberalism

Gary Best

Routledge
2017
nidottu
For nearly three decades, the English political scientist Harold Laski was the gray eminence of American liberalism and its most influential Marxist public intellectual. As a fervent proponent of the New Deal in the 1930s, much of Laski's success stemmed from the fact that he offered answers when so many Americans had only questions. By the postwar years, however, his reputation was in decline and his influence left the Democratic Party vulnerable in the1948 elections. In Harold Laski and American Liberalism Gary Dean Best traces the trajectory of Laski's American career and accounts for its ultimate failure.American politics and society were central to Laski's intellectual enterprise. As Best shows, probably no one residing in America has published as many words critical of the United States as did this Englishman. Virtually no aspect of American life went unscathed, and yet at the root of every attack was American capitalism, the businessman, those with property, who, in Laski's view were the source of all the perversion of American life.The 1930s was a period of ferment among America's intellectuals. By the 1940s it was only Laski who was bewildered--at the failure of his diagnoses and the rejection of his prescriptions even by those who had been captivated by him in the previous decade. By the time he died, in 1950, his earlier pronouncements seemed wide of the mark, and the increased stridency and shrillness produced by his disappointment had begun to bore even many who had been devoted to him in earlier years.As this volume shows, the real tragedy for Laski was that he allowed his intellect to be captured and held captive by the Marxian dialectic, denying himself the use of his own reason despite that dialectic's repeated failures. Harold Laski and American Liberalism will be of interest to intellectual historians, political scientists, and American studies specialists.
