The Novels of Samuel Beckett [Hardcover]

This book is an attempt to provide a convenient and helpful guide to Samuel BeckettХs 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 BeckettХs typescripts. The Bibliography of Samuel BeckettХs writings is as near as possible complete; it should clarify less wellknown 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. John Fletcher was a Jacobean playwright. Following William Shakespeare as house playwright for the King's Men, he was among the most prolific and influential dramatists of his day; during his lifetime and in the early Restoration, his fame rivalled Shakespeare's. Though his reputation has been far eclipsed since, Fletcher remains an important transitional figure between the Elizabethan popular tradition and the popular drama of the Restoration. Fletcher began to work with Francis Beaumont probably about 1607, at first for the Children of the QueenХs Revels and its successor and then mainly for the KingХs Men at the Globe and Blackfriars theatres. After 1613, he often collaborated with or had his plays revised by Philip Massinger, who actually succeeded him in 1625 as chief playwright of the KingХs Men. The best of FletcherХs comedies, for urbanity and consistency of tone, is probably The WildGoose Chase, a play of episodes alive with irony and easy wit.
