Kenneth Tynan Letters

Kenneth Tynan Letters

by Kenneth Tynan (Author), Kathleen Tynan (Editor)

Synopsis

The drama critic Kenneth Tynan led opinion, roused tempers and sparked the theatrical explosion of the 1960s. This selection of his letters - witty, scandalous, intellectual, passionate - plunges the reader into the heady cultural life of his time. The selection traces the making of a scandalous intellectual persona, and a lifetime battle against the forces of convention and complacency. Never before published, the letters reveal a great range of subject and correspondent. Tynan wrote to John Lennon on sex; to the Lord Chamberlain on censorship; to his schoolfriend Julian Holland on American comics, cricket and prose style; to Marlene Dietrich on candour and autobiography; and to his many girlfriends on love.
