Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Winsome Pinnock is the first book length study of one of Britain’s most important play-wrights and her four-decade long career chronicling the lives of Black people, and Black women in particular, in Britain.
It offers a detailed and sustained analysis of Pinnock’s plays, attending to their formal, aesthetic and thematic qualities as well as in-depth examination of the socio-cultural and political contexts that informed the creation and reception of them from the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, the targeted attacks on Black migrants in Notting Hill in the 1950s through to Black Lives Matter movement. Combining archival research and close textual analysis, Dorney explores the range of Pinnock’s works from little-known radio plays, monodramas and micro-dramas through to well-known plays such as Leave Taking, Mules and the award-winning Rockets and Blue Lights. It considers the ways in which Pinnock’s work addresses issues of belonging, family and resistance to exploitation and abuse and how Pinnock’s craft as a playwright has developed over time and been transmitted through her long career as a teacher of creative writing.
Part of the Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatist series, this volume provides essential insights for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in modern play-writing, race and representation, and the politics of performance.
