The word 'decay' is often used by critics in general reference to
Beckett's thematic emphasis and philosophical outlook. However,
this book explores the idea of decay as the fundamental core of
Beckett's work, dominating it thematically, linguistically and
artistically. Kathryn White explores Beckett's representation of
physical decay, mental and spiritual deterioration and finally the
idea that 'decay' is to be found in language itself. This study
explores the importance of both theme and form in Beckett's work
and considers whether Beckett will, in future generations, be
remembered both for his representation of existence and his
innovations in language.
