Samuel Beckett is arguably the most celebrated playwright of the twentieth-century. His work in the theatre revolutionised the art of writing for the stage and that of performance. As a novelist, Beckett also obliterated previously-held notions of that genre and renewed our thinking on the meaning of narrative. Palgrave Advances in Samuel Beckett Studies offers a comprehensive exploration of the various critical approaches to Beckett’s writing and of the evolution of Beckett criticism in recent years. It will appeal to the specialist and non-specialist alike, for it contains both an overview of the field and investigates current debates within the interdisciplinary critical arena. Each of the contributors is an eminent Beckett specialist who has published widely in the field.
