LONDON — The British Library has acquired the archives of the Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter 77 including his correspondence with leading figures in theatre and literature.

The library announced it had paid US$2.24 million for the archive, which includes Pinter's collection of play scripts, which has been on loan to the library since 1993.

The archive includes more than 150 boxes of manuscripts, scrapbooks, letters, photographs, programs and e-mails, and a draft of The Queen of all the Fairies, an unpublished memoir of Pinter's youth, the library said. A selection will be on display at the library from Jan. 11 to April 13.
