Description
Harold Pinter: The Theatre of Power offers an authoritative exploration of one of the greatest postwar British playwrights and author of influential works. Robert Gordon's study focuses on Pinter's innovative experiments in theatrical form, tracing recurring ethical and epistemological concerns throughout his career. Gordon examines important plays from across Pinter's prolific writer's career, arguing that a driving force behind much of his drama is the desire for power, manifesting as a compulsive drive to achieve or maintain dominance. This book demonstrates Pinter's adventurous experimentation with form while exposing persistent ethical, epistemological, and aesthetic preoccupations. By tracing these concerns across Pinter's work, Gordon sheds new light on the playwright's remarkable body of writing, revealing the complex motivations that underpin his most famous plays.
