Beckett and Beyond

"Beckett and Beyond," a conference held at the Princess Grace Irish Library, Monaco, in 1991, gathered together thirty-two distinguished scholars to assess the works and career of the great Irish writer. The conference proceedings, published here in a single volume, contain papers and addresses by his biographers, the editors of his correspondence and internationally scholars. As well as a wide range of papers on individual works and series from all phases of the writer's career and in all the media that he explored, subjects covered by the speakers include Beckett in relation to modernism, postmodernism, Dr. Johnson, Joyce, Baudelaire, Camus, Freud, actors, directors, to his texts and his letters, to radio, television, film, and adaptations of his work.
