Samuel Beckett Goes Into the Silence

SAMUEL BECKETT GOES INTO THE SILENCE



By Jeremy Robinson



A general introduction to the work of Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), focussing on the aspects of philosophy and language. He is regarded as pretty much the greatest of modern and postmodern writers, pretty much the world's greatest modern dramatist, and the maybe greatest modern prose stylist. The texts studied include Beckett's major works, from the Unnamable Trilogy to the late Company/ Nohow series of the 1980s.

This book is a new, updated edition of a study first published in 1992.

Includes a collection of quotes from Samuel Beckett, photographs of Beckett and his plays, and a bibliography. www.crmoon.com
