Description
Detailed annotation of Samuel Beckett's 'Murphy' offers a unique insight into the author's writing process. This comprehensive work includes an extensive introduction to the novel's composition, critical debate, and Beckett's reading influences, as well as close page-by-page annotations. The book provides a sophisticated discussion of the 'Cartesian catastrophe' at the heart of this comic cosmos, along with an extensive bibliography and thematic index. By examining the range of Beckett's reading in the 1930s, this annotation sheds light on how his later works arose from earlier influences. Written by Professor Chris Ackerley, a renowned expert in Beckett studies, this annotated edition is a valuable resource for scholars and readers alike.
