Opening up contemporary debates about emotion in social and
historical contexts, Women and Ireland as Beckett's Lost Others
investigates the relationship between emotion, memory, exile and
language. Using a psychoanalytic framework, this monograph traces
discourses of mourning (Klein), melancholia (Freud) and abjection
(Kristeva) in Beckett's prose and drama, and demonstrates how
Ireland and women are often Beckett's objects of loss. This study
primarily focuses on Beckett's exploitation of ambivalent yet
conscious use of psychoanalytic concepts in his works on an
aesthetic level. It also addresses the impact of one of the key
events in Beckett's life, his self-imposed exile, on his poetics of
grieving. By exploring Beckett's ambiguous representations of his
homeland - Ireland - and women in general and the mother in
particular throughout his oeuvre, this study unveils his uneasy
relationship with them - an anxious part of his identity.
