Michael Y. Bennetts 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 movements 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 centurys greatest and most influential cultural figures.
