Harold Pinter: Towards a Poetics of His Plays: Towards a Poetics of His Plays
Pinter's dramatic figures are curiously perspectival creatures who exist on several levels at once, and who by virtue of the deliberate distortion that went into their creation show close affinities with Mannerism. Harold Pinter: Towards a Poetics of His Plays examines Pinter's stage plays from The Room to One for the Road, as well as several plays for radio and television, by focusing on their Mannerist traits; it presents its conclusions within the larger context of an inquiry into the principles and rules that can be said to inform Pinter's «open» drama.

'Alice in Wonderland' is a book loved worldwide by people of all ages. But 'Under His Hat' reveals other intriguing stories of Alice, who was known in real life as Alice Liddell, the daughter of Henry George Liddell, Dean of Christ Church College Oxford.
