Samuel Beckett's Library critically examines the reading notes and
marginalia contained in the books of Samuel Beckett's surviving
library in Paris. Previously inaccessible to scholars, this is the
first study to assess the importance of the marginalia,
inscriptions, and other manuscript notes in the 750 volumes of the
library. Setting the library into context with other manuscript
material such as drafts and notebooks, this book examines the way
in which Beckett absorbed, 'translated', and transmitted his
reading in his own work. It thus illuminates Beckett's cultural and
intellectual world, and shows the ways in which his reading often
engendered writing.
