Pinter's plays, including such acknowledged masterpieces as The Caretaker and The Homecoming, are subjected to close textual scrutiny and are seen to spring from a mixture of experience, memory and the unfettered poetic imagination. Billington's book also demolishes the myth that Pinter's political commitment is either belated or aesthetically detrimental; the dramatist is seen from the outset as a vehement opponent of authoritarian structures"17aPinter, Harold,d1930-2008xCriticism and interpretation.2BUEsh 7aDramatists, Englishy20th centuryvBiography.2BUEsh  bHHUUEENNcNovember2019  vReading book  2ddccBB  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc2NDd2019-11-26ePurchaseg225.00l0o822.914 BILp000048346r2025-07-15 00:00:00v281.25w2019-11-26yBB
