Ronald Harwood''s Tragic Vision: A Critical Analysis of His Novels, Plays, and Screenplays
English
By (author): Ann C. Hall
Art has a lot to answer for. So says Sarah Bernhardt in Ronald Harwoods play After the Lions. Harwoods own career can be summarized by that same quote as well.
Ronald Harwoods Tragic Vision offers the first critical analysis of prolific and award-winning British author Ronald Harwood (19342020). Though he received an Oscar for The Pianist, a knighthood, and numerous other awards and nominations, Harwood worked as a ghostwriter, script doctor, and veritable unknown for many years. As he became successful, many critics still misread his works and positioned him as a less-fashionable counterpart to his lifelong friend Harold Pinter. This study proposes a conceptual framework to approach his, and others, work based on the genre of tragedy, offering a greater appreciation for and understanding of the Harwood canon. See more
