The Cambridge Introduction to Samuel Beckett（ISBN=9780521547383） pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

This is an eloquent and accessible introduction to one of the

most important writers of the twentieth century. This book provides

biographical and contextual information, but more fundamentally, it

also considers how we might think about an enduringly difficult and

experimental novelist and playwright who often challenges the very

concepts of meaning and interpretation. It deals with his life,

intellectual and cultural background, plays, prose, and critical

response and relates Beckett's work and vision to the culture and

context from which he wrote. McDonald provides a sustained analysis

of the major plays, including Waiting for Godot, Endgame, and Happy

Days and his major prose works including Murphy, Watt and his

famous 'trilogy' of novels (Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable).

This introduction concludes by mapping the huge terrain of

criticism Beckett's work has prompted, and it explains the turn in

recent years to understanding Beckett within his historical

context.
