The Pinter Ethic: The Erotic Aesthetic

The only comprehensive guide to the plays of one of the world’s greatest yet most puzzling contemporary dramatists, The Pinter Ethic penetrates the mystery of Harold Pinter’s work with compelling and authoritative insights that locate and disclose the primal power of his drama in his characters’ powerplay for dominance. Penelope Prentice reveals that Pinter’s plays reflect not a vision of postmodern hopelessness in a world threatening to self-destruct, but provoke unguessed choice and action that enlarge the concept of love and link it to justice.
