4.9/5 (15597 ratings)

Description:This is the first-ever critical work on Jack Rosenthal, the award-winning British television dramatist. His career began with Coronation Street in the 1960s and he became famous for his popular sitcoms, including The Lovers and The Dustbinmen. During what is often known as the OCygolden ageOCO of British television drama, Rosenthal wrote such plays as The Knowledge, The Chain, Spend, Spend, Spend and POCOtang, Yang, Kipperbang, as well as the pilot for the series LondonOCOs Burning. This study offers a close analysis of all RosenthalOCOs best-known works, drawing on archival material as well as interviews with his collaborators and cast members.The book places RosenthalOCOs plays in their historical and televisual context. It does so by tracing the events that informed his writing, ranging from his comic take on the OCypermissive societyOCO of the 1960s, through to the recession in the 1970s and Thatcherism in the 1980s. RosenthalOCOs distinctive brand of humour and its everyday surrealism is contrasted throughout with the work of his contemporaries, including Dennis Potter, Alan Bleasdale and Johnny Speight, and his influence on contemporary television and film is analysed. Rosenthal is not usually placed in the canon of Anglo-Jewish writing but the book argues this case by focusing on his prize-winning Plays for Today, The Evacuees and Bar Mitzvah Boy.This book will appeal to students and researchers in Television, Film and Cultural Studies, as well as those interested in contemporary drama and Jewish Studies."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
