File on Beckett

More about the book

This book, first published in 1985, assembles essential facts on Samuel Beckett and makes vital but elusive information available. It contains a comprehensive checklist of all the writer's plays, with a detailed performance history, excerpted reviews, and most importantly, a selection of Beckett's own comments on their work drawn from essays, interviews, letters and diaries. Other features include a chronology of life and work, a checklist of non-dramatic writings and an annotated bibliography.
