The Cambridge Introduction to Samuel BeckettThe Cambridge Introduction to Samuel Beckett

A generation after his death, Samuel Beckett remains one of the giants of
twentieth-century literature and drama. More troubling for his critics, he is
also one of the last century’s most potent literary myths. Like other ‘modernists’,
he has a reputation for obscurity and diYculty, yet despite this his work
permeates our culture in unique ways. The word ‘Beckettian’ resonates even
amongst those who know little Beckett. It evokes a bleak vision of life
leavened by mordant humour
