Beckett's Political Imagination charts unexplored territory: it
investigates how Beckett's bilingual texts re-imagine political
history, and documents the conflicts and controversies through
which Beckett's political consciousness and affirmations were
mediated. The book offers a startling account of Beckett's work,
tracing the many political causes that framed his writing,
commitments, collaborations and friendships, from the Scottsboro
Boys to the Black Panthers, from Irish communism to Spanish
republicanism to Algerian nationalism, and from campaigns against
Irish and British censorship to anti-Apartheid and international
human rights movements. Emilie Morin reveals a very different
writer, whose career and work were shaped by a unique exposure to
international politics, an unconventional perspective on political
action and secretive political engagements. The book will benefit
students, researchers and readers who want to think about literary
history in different ways and are interested in Beckett's enduring
appeal and influence.
