Beckett often made use of images from the visual arts and readapted
them, staging them in his plays, or using them in his fiction.
Anthony Uhlmann sets out to explain how an image differs from other
terms, like 'metaphor' or 'representation', and, in the process, to
analyse Beckett's use of images borrowed from philosophy and
aesthetics. This study, first published in 2006, carefully examines
Beckett's thoughts on the image in his literary works and his
extensive notes to the philosopher Arnold Geulincx. Uhlmann
considers how images might allow one kind of interaction between
philosophy and literature, and how Beckett makes use of images
which are borrowed from, or drawn into dialogue with, philosophical
images from Geulincx, Berkeley, Bergson, and the ancient Stoics.
Uhlmann's reading of Beckett's aesthetic and philosophical
interests provides a revolutionary reading of the importance of the
image in his work.
