When Samuel Beckett first came to international prominence with the
success of Waiting for Godot, many critics believed the play was
divorced from any recognisable context. The two tramps, and the
master and servant they encounter, seemed to represent no one and
everyone. Today, critics challenge the assumption that Beckett
aimed to break definitively with context, highlighting images,
allusions and motifs that tether Beckett's writings to real people,
places and issues in his life. This wide-ranging collection of
essays from 37 renowned Beckett scholars reveals how extensively
Beckett entered into dialogue with important literary traditions
and the realities of his time. Drawing on his major works, as well
as on a range of letters and theoretical notebooks, the essays are
designed to complement each other, building a broad overview that
will allow students and scholars to come away with a better sense
of Beckett's life, writings and legacy.
