Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An original and important book relevant to current general interests in literary theory and the problems of interpretation as well as to Pinter scholarship and criticism. Merritt has produced a work of 'metacriticism' that I would expect to remain of permanent value. Her knowledge of Pinter scripts, performances of them, and of Pinter critics and reviewers is vast, and parallel to her demonstrations of changes in critical strategies and perspectives, she evokes a sense of the changes Pinter has gone through as a playwright."--Michael Steig, Simon Fraser University

Reseña del editor:

"Pinter in Play" provides a survey of the diverse readings of the Harold Pinter canon, represented in terms of the major critical schools of the past 20 years, from New Criticism to deconstruction to post-structuralism. At the same time, this book is equally about the act or the art of literary criticism, and touches on the cultural, personal, sociological and philosophical bases of the diverse schools of criticism. Drawing on interviews with Pinter scholars, which provide insights into the relationship between critics' lives and their work, the text shows how criticism of Pinter enforces the critics' personal, professional and political affiliations and explains how the critics' own cultural histories and identities affect their literary preferences, interpretations and judgements.
