Beckett remains one of the most important writers of the twentieth
century whose radical experimentations in form and content won him
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. This Critical Companion
encompasses his plays for the stage, radio and television, and will
be indispensable to students of his work. Challenging and at times
perplexing, Beckett's work is represented on almost every
literature, theatre and Irish studies curriculum in universities in
North America, Europe and Australia. Katherine Weiss' admirably
clear study of his work provides the perfect companion,
illuminating each play and Beckett's vision, and investigating his
experiments with the body, voice and technology. It includes
in-depth studies of the major works Waiting for Godot, Endgame and
Krapp's Last Tape, and as with other volumes in Methuen Drama's
Critical Companions series it features too a series of essays by
other scholars and practitioners offering different critical
perspectives on Beckett in performance that will inform students'
own critical thinking. Together with a series of resources
including a chronology and a list of further reading, this is ideal
for all students and readers of Beckett's work.
