Obscure Locks, Simple Keys is a comprehensive study of this most
enigmatic of all of SmauelBeckett's texts. Chris Ackerley's
approach, which has some similarities to genetic editing, is based
on an extensive study of the manuscripts and different editions
(including the French translation, overseen by Beckett himself) of
the novel, and the long introduction covers the complex history of
the book's composition and publication. The book includes a
thematic Index and extensive Bibliography, as well as two
appendices: one deals with 'Textual changes and errata in the major
editions of Watt'; the other with the tangled question of 'The
evolution of Watt'. Most of the work, however, concerns the
detailed annotation of the text, and examines the range of
literary, religious and philosophical matters that have informed
and shaped the text. The primary aim of the volume is to offer a
complete exposition of the novel's disconcerting difficulties, but
another major objective, given the parlous state of previous
editions, was to identify and correct the long history of textual
error, with a view to the future publication of a better text.
