Bennett's accessible Introduction explains the complex, multidimensional nature of the works and writers associated with the absurd - a label placed upon a number of writers who revolted against traditional theatre and literature in both similar and widely different ways. Setting the movement in its historical, intellectual and cultural contexts, Bennett provides an in-depth overview of absurdism and its key figures in theatre and literature, from Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to Tom Stoppard. Chapters reveal the movement's origins, development and present-day influence upon popular culture around the world, employing the latest research to this often challenging area of study in a balanced and authoritative approach. Essential reading for students of literature and theatre, this book provides the necessary tools to interpret and develop the study of a movement associated with some of the twentieth century's greatest and most influential cultural figures. 650 0 $a Drama $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Theater of the absurd. 650 0 $a Absurd (Philosophy) in literature. 830 0 $a Cambridge introductions to literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019025410.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502020533.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01FA11B8ECCF11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
