The term is derived from an essay by the French philosopher Albert Camus. In his 'Myth of Sisyphus' ... he first defined the human situation as basically meaningless and absurd." Representative playwrights include Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet, and Harold Pinter. From a lecturer in Czech studies at the University of Glasgow. http://www2.arts.gla.ac.uk/Slavonic/Absurd.htm Topics: Performing Arts Last updated Nov 30, 2005 |
