    Book description

    Provides Beckett scholars with a range of first-class essays in a single volume.

    The Reader makes readily available for the first time 17 major, previously uncollected significant essays from the Journal of Beckett Studies from 1992 to the present. It is divided into two sections, ‘Foul Papers: Archives and Sources’ and ‘Fair Papers: Theories and Translations’, together with the editor’s Introduction. It contains work by some of the world’s leading Beckett scholars (including John Pilling, James Knowlson, Shane Weller and Mary Bryden) and reflects both a distinctive European emphasis as well as the ‘new pragmatism’ within Beckett Studies.

    Key Features

    * Includes 2 theoretically informed essays by major French philosophers, Bruno Clément and Alain Badiou.

    * Includes studies of Beckett’s Italian translations.

    * Brings together in one place archival and source material, high quality original research and theoretically informed analysis
