The definition "theatre of the absurd" was popularized by Martin Esslin's study The Theatre of the Absurd (1961) anlly applied to dramatists such as Beckett, Genet and Ionesco who emerged in the late 1940s and in the 1950s. Esslin actually derived his expression from Albert Camus who wrote about the absurd feeling that man experiences as he tries to give a sense of purpose to his existence in a world that belies any meaning and logic. Pinter's first plays such as The Room, The Birthday Party, The Dumb-waiter, The Caretaker and The Homecoming #aksrajveer #literaturelovers #ugcnetenglish #tgtenglish #pgtenglish #englishliterature #literaturelovers #tgtenglish #pgtenglish #ltgradeenglish
