More about the book
Focusing on Samuel Beckett's critical essays and reflections, the book explores their interplay with his fiction and poetry, revealing connections to longstanding philosophical discourses on representation. It examines his contributions to French little magazines from the 1930s to the 1950s and how his late prose mirrors themes from his critical work. By assessing Beckett's role as a critic, the study highlights his innovative aesthetic influenced by phenomenology, Kandinsky's abstraction theories, and avant-garde movements, making it valuable for those interested in modernism and European visual culture.
