Much has been written on Beckett and Sade, yet nothing systematic
has been produced. This Element is systematic by adopting a
chronological order, which is necessary given the complexity of
Beckett's varying assessments of Sade. Beckett mentioned Sade early
in his career, with Proust as a first guide. His other sources were
Guillaume Apollinaire and Mario Praz's book, La Carne, La morte e
il Diavolo Nella Letteratura Romantica (1930), from which he took
notes about sadism for his Dream Notebook. Dante's meditation on
the absurdity of justice provides closure facing Beckett's wonder
at the pervasive presence of sadism in humans.
