This book provides thirteen introductory essays on every aspect of the work of Samuel Beckett, paying particular attention to his most famous plays (e.g. Waiting for Godot and Endgame) and his prose fictions (e.g. the “trilogy” and Murphy). Further essays tackle his radio and television drama, his theater directing and his poetry, followed by more general issues such as Beckett’s bilingualism and his relationship to the philosophers. A chronology of Beckett’s life, a list of French and English titles and a list for further reading provide additional reference material.
Editorial Reviews
Review
– Small Press
“The authors constitute a distinguished group of international scholars, all of whom have published important work on Beckett…The essays are lucid and, though authoritative, not esoteric…The collection is meant for the general reader of Beckett and is highly recommended for all libraries.”
– Choice
“In a relatively small space it provides a wealth of information about Beckett’s oeuvre, and much that is of potential interest to the expert as well as to the newcomer.”
– Roger Caldwell, Times Literary Supplement
