Critical readings of the play in relation to music, metaphysics, intertextuality, and time are counterpointed by essays that consider the nature of performance, the history of the theater and the music hall, Beckett’s attitudes to directing his play, and his responses to other directors.

Download or read book The Making of Samuel Beckett s Fin de Partie Endgame written by Dirk Van Hulle and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume of the BDMP analyses the genesis of Fin de partie / Endgame. Described by Samuel Beckett as more 'inhuman' than Waiting for Godot and as possessing an ability to 'claw', it was his favourite among all his plays and yet also a work the genesis of which was particularly arduous. It took Beckett many years to complete the French version, and about the translation process he complained in 1957: 'what a losing battle it is always'. This book explores that genesis through an analysis of all the surviving manuscripts and typescripts, retracing Beckett's difficulty to begin, to continue and, eventually, to end the play. It also brings to light some hidden treasures, such as the dramatic fragment 'Louis & Blanc' and the Lord Chamberlain's copy of the English translation, in which the censor's pen excises a number of key passages, including the celebrated reference to God: 'The bastard! He doesn't exist!"--Back cover.
Download or read book Samuel Beckett and the Politics of Aftermath written by James McNaughton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett and the Politics of Aftermath explores Beckett's literary responses to the political maelstroms of his formative and middle years: the Irish civil war and the crisis of commitment in 1930s Europe, the rise of fascism and the atrocities of World War II. Archive yields a Beckett who monitored propaganda in speeches and newspapers, and whose creative work engages with specific political strategies, rhetoric, and events. Finally, Beckett's political aesthetic sharpens into focus. Deep within form, Beckett models ominous historical developments as surely as he satirizes artistic and philosophical interpretations that overlook them. He burdens aesthetic production with guilt: imagination and language, theater and narrative, all parallel political techniques. Beckett comically embodies conservative religious and political doctrines; he plays Irish colonial history against contemporary European horrors; he examines aesthetic complicity in effecting atrocity and covering it up. This book offers insightful, original, and vivid readings of Beckett's work up to Three Novels and Endgame.

Download or read book Absorption and Theatricality written by Conor Carville and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett's 1976 Television play Ghost Trio is one of his most beautiful and mysterious works. It is also the play that most clearly demonstrates Beckett's imaginative and aesthetic engagement with the visual arts and the history of painting in particular. Drawing on the work of Stanley Cavell and Michael Fried, On Ghost Trio demonstrates Beckett's exploration of the relationship between theatricality, absorption and objecthood, and shows how his work anticipates the development of video and installation art. In doing so Conor Carville develops a new and highly original reading of Beckett's art, rooted in both archival sources and philosophical aesthetics.

Book excerpt: “On Beckett: Essays and Criticism” is the first collection of writings about the Nobel Prize–winning author that covers the entire spectrum of his work, and also affords a rare glimpse of the private Beckett. More has been written about Samuel Beckett than about any other writer of this century – countless books and articles dealing with him are in print, and the progression continues geometrically. “On Beckett” brings together some of the most perceptive writings from the vast amount of scrutiny that has been lavished on the man; in addition to widely read essays there are contributions from more obscure sources, viewpoints not frequently seen. Together they allow the reader to enter the world of a writer whose work has left an impact on the consciousness of our time perhaps unmatched by that of any other recent creative imagination.
