Samuel Beckett's Geological Imagination addresses the ubiquity of
earthy objects in Beckett's prose, drama and poetry, exploring how
mineral and archaeological objects bear upon the themes, narrative
locus, and sensibilities of Beckett's texts in surprisingly varied
ways. By deploying figures of ruination and excavation with
etymological self-awareness, Beckett's late prose narratives -
Company, Ill Seen Ill Said, and Worstward Ho - comprise a
late-career meditation on the stratigraphic layerings of language
and memory over an extended writing career. These layers comprise
an embodied record of writing in their allusions to literary
history and to Beckett's own oeuvre.
