This book was first published in 2009. Samuel Beckett is one of the
most important figures in the history of Irish literature, and he
continues to influence successive generations of writers. In
Beckett and Contemporary Irish Writing, Stephen Watt searches for
the 'Beckettian' impulse in Irish literature by tracing the Nobel
Prize winner's legacy through a rich selection of contemporary
novelists, poets and dramatists. Watt examines leading figures such
as Paul Muldoon, Brian Friel, Marina Carr and Bernard MacLaverty,
and shows how Beckett's presence, whether openly acknowledged or
unstated, is always thoroughly pervasive. Moving on to an
exploration of Beckett's role in the twenty-first century, the
study discusses ways in which this legacy can be reshaped to deal
with current concerns that extend beyond literature.
