SynopsisThis book is an attempt to provide a convenient and helpful guide to Samuel Beckett’s fiction by tracing (in three phases) the evolution of the hero in his novels and the development of his style in English and French from the first manuscript Dream of Fair to Middling Women to the most recent work How it is.Since unwieldy apparatus would be out of place in a general work of this kind, quotations are not usually provided with page numbers, footnotes are generally avoided, and the list of criticism is kept to a minimum.The work includes several translated extracts from some of Beckett’s typescripts. The Bibliography of Samuel Beckett’s writings is as near as possible complete; it should clarify less well-known aspects of his activity. With this work, the broad aim of the author has not been to seek any specious explanation of the fiction but simply to assist the interested reader in exploring it for himself.
