Steven Connor, one of the most influential critics of
twentieth-century literature and culture working today, has spent
much of his career writing and thinking about Samuel Beckett. This
book presents Connor's finest published work on Beckett alongside
fresh essays that explore how Beckett has shaped major themes in
modernism and twentieth-century literature. Through discussions of
sport, nausea, slowness, flies, the radio switch, tape, religion
and academic life, Connor shows how Beckett's writing is
characteristic of a distinctively mundane or worldly modernism,
arguing that it is well-attuned to our current concern with the
stressed relations between the human and natural worlds. Through
Connor's analysis, Beckett's prose, poetry and dramatic works
animate a modernism profoundly concerned with life, worldly
existence and the idea of the world as such. Lucid, provocative,
wide-ranging, and richly informed by critical and cultural theory,
this new book from Steven Connor is required reading for anyone
teaching or studying Beckett, modernism and twentieth-century
literary studies.
