Author Description

Harold Pinter is one of the most prolific of living British authors, with a writing career so far of fifty-eight years. This bibliographical history provides a comprehensive account of the print-published writings, and texts in other media, which he has wholly or partly authored, and will be a valuable resource for all who have a scholarly interest in modern British literature. Pre-minently an oustanding playwright, a creator of texts in dramatic form for live theatre, radio, television or cinema, Pinter has also composed a significant body of poetry, some short stories, a novel, and a large number of non-fictional prose writings. Interviews, recorded in print and other media, interview-based articles and other texts are documented here, as are texts generated from Pinter's wide-ranging interest in literary projects, human rights and political causes, with forewords to books, short notes, jointly authored letters, signatures to petitions, declarations and other material.
