Beckett the Playwright

This book, first published in 1985, stresses Beckett-s success as an innovator in the theatre through a close reading and analysis of his plays. The differing backgrounds of the two authors enables them to approach Beckett-s drama in a particularly fruitful way: -Their analysis is clever yet level-headed, readable but does not shirk complexities.- (Times Educational Supplement). -Brilliant collection of essays on Beckett and his works.- (Irish Times)
