For Lamb, the power of Barker's plays is to be found in the exposure to the irrational and its promotion of a state of unknowing.This revised edition includes:* a new interview with Barker;* a revised introduction, * an updated bibliography Barker, HowardBarker, Howard - Criticism and interpretationBarker, Howard-- Criticism and interpretationDramatists, English - 20th centuryPlaywritingPostmodernism (Literature) - Great BritainElectronic books.Barker, Howard.Barker, Howard - Criticism and interpretation.Barker, Howard-- Criticism and interpretation.Dramatists, English - 20th century.Playwriting.Postmodernism (Literature) - Great Britain.822.914822/.914Lamb Charles163708AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910450808303321The Theatre of Howard Barker2149678UNINA
