A Casebook

Samuel Beckett: A Casebook may be characterized as a new collection of essays by a generation of Beckett scholars who did not have access to the author. This text demarcates the line between the critical work produced when Beckett was alive, and the critical work produced within ten years of the author’s death. This collection is distinctive, too, because the text offers a variety of critical perspectives which engage and problematize Beckett’s dramatic canon. From Deleuzean rhizomatics to New Historicism to the crucial question of gender-each reading re-positions Beckett’s plays and forces us to rethink our standard interpretations of Beckett’s drama.
