| The World of Samuel Beckett - "The World of Samuel Beckett" brings together a distinguished group of authorities, among them Beckett's longtime associates and colleagues Herbert Blau and Martin Esslin. In a chapter on Beckett's "Enough", Blau concedes that parts of the playwright's work can be lyrical and beguiling, but "it's still an appalling vision". Esslin (who coined the term "theater of the absurd") challenges the notion that Beckett is difficult or depressing, arguing instead that he is basically a comic writer, gallows... |

| Samuel Beckett and Music, Mary Bryden - Samuel Beckett, one of the century's most original playwrights and novelists, was also passionately interested in music. He once told a friend that all his work had been written for a voice. Samuel Beckett and Music is the first full-length work to deal exclusively with Beckett and music. This collection of essays, most written especially for the volume, brings together a number of leading composers and academics who analyze their response to Beckett's intense musicality.

| Samuel Beckett and the Prosthetic Body, Yoshiki Tajiri - Samuel Beckett and the Prosthetic Body is a study of the representation of the body in Beckett's work (both novels and plays), specifically focusing on the 'prosthetic' aspects of the organs and senses. Referring to the indeterminate border between the body and material objects, inside and outside, self and other, the concept of prosthesis is gaining weight in contemporary critical discourses. While making use of the theoretical potential of this concept, Tajiri attempts to highlight palpably... |

| Samuel Beckett (Overlook Illustrated Lives) - Samuel Beckett was perhaps the most unconventional playwright of the twentieth century. His plays broke all the rules by dispensing with traditional concepts of plot, scene, and character, concentrating instead on the experience of the drama itself. An intensely private man, Beckett's work was profoundly influenced by his relationship with his mother and what he called her "savage loving," and by the tensions and hypocrisies of his divided country. In his work, he presents us with our own humanity... |

| Watt, Samuel Beckett, Book - In prose possessed of the radically stripped-down beauty and ferocious wit that characterize his work, this early novel by Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett recounts the grotesque and improbable adventures of a fantastically logical Irish servant and his master. Watt is a beautifully executed black comedy that, at its core, is rooted in the powerful and terrifying vision that made Beckett one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

| Complete Critical Guide to Samuel Beckett - Samuel Beckett's radical drama, prose and poetry challenged and forever changed the concepts of literature and theatre. His work remains a core part of introductory courses on literary history, drama, theatre or performance and also features in more specialist classes such as Modernism or The Absurd. Many courses on twentieth century literature begin with Beckett. However, strange as it may seem, this book is the first single-authored introductory guide which covers life and contexts, work and... |

| Samuel Beckett : The Last Modernist - This biography offers a refreshingly human portrait of Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) -- Nobel Prize-winning novelist, playwright, poet, translator, member of the French Resistance, ladies' man, misanthrope, and secular saint -- as well as abundant insights into his hypnotic and haunting writings, which took modern literature to the edge of silence. |

| Online - Proust - Samuel Beckett - Samuel Beckett's celebrated study of Marcel Proust, whose theories of time were to play a huge part in his own work, was written in 1931. A brilliant work of critical insight, it also reveals much about its author's own thinking and preoccupations, and is considered a masterpiece of literary and philosophical creative writing. This slim volume also contains three celebrated dialogues Beckett conducted with art critic Georges Duthuit, transcribed to record their different points of view. Beckett... |

| Collected Shorter Plays Samuel Beckett - 'Beckett reduces life, perception, and writing to barest minimums: a few dimly seen, struggling torsos; a hopeless intelligence compulsively seeking to come to terms, in rudimentary yet endlessly varied language, with the human condition they represent.
