Palgrave Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd Camus Beckett Ionesco Genet and Pinter 2011 Edition by M. Bennett
Fifty years after the publication of Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the Absurd , which suggests that 'absurd' plays purport the meaninglessness of life, this book uses the works of five major playwrights of the 1950s to provide a timely reassessment of one of the most important theatre 'movements' of the 20th century.
