Abstract

Presented at the MMLA in November 2017, this essay examines the representation of the body in Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, arguing that Pinter's representation of the body differs from other modern dramatists such as Samuel Beckett and Sarah Kane. While admittedly participating in the dismembering of the body as Beckett and Kane do, Pinter's work not only re-members the body but also demonstrates its power and importance to theatrical art forms.
