This volume comprises ten essays challenging the dominant account of Samuel Beckett's engagement with history.

Drawing on a range of archival materials, and situating Beckett in historical context, these essays pose a strong challenge to the prevailing critical consensus that he was a deracinated modernist who cannot be read historically.
