Description
Beckett and Nothing: Understanding Beckett's Concept of Nothingness. This volume explores the complex ways in which Beckett's works both suggest and resist turning nothing into something. It examines "little nothings" that pervade the Beckett canon, looking at specific rhetorical strategies and classic problems such as Irishness, silence, value, marginality, politics, and the relationships between modernism and postmodernism. The book assesses how the Beckett oeuvre can help us rethink contemporary preoccupations with materialism, neurology, sculpture, music, and television. It comprises jargon-free chapters that analyze Beckett's prose, drama, film, television, manuscripts, and marginalia, making it of interest to advanced students and scholars in various fields. Advanced readers will find this volume useful for its fresh perspectives on the Beckett canon and its relevance to contemporary debates.
