    Pinter, Harold (foreword by John Fowles.)

    Edition: First printing.

    Boston: Little Brown, (1981.) dj. Hardcover first edition - The screenplay for the film starring Jeremy Irons and Meryl Streep. Fowles in his introduction states that Pinter's screenplay is not just another 'version' of his novel, but a work that stands on its own as skilful, dramatic and original. Fowles narrates the story from both a mid-nineteenth century and a modern point of view; Pinter makes the leap of adding to the original story scenes from a contemporary affair between a movie actor and actress who are playing the novel's roles, thus creating a film within a film. Foreword by John Fowles. xv, 104 pp. ISBN: 0-316-708518.
