Beckett's Eighteenth Century
Beckett's Eighteenth Century
by Frederik N. Smith
# Hardcover: 231 pages
# Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan (March 20, 2002)
Beckett's Eighteenth Century is the first book-length study of Samuel Beckett's affinity with the British eighteenth century and of the influence of its writers on his work. Reading Swift, Pope, Defoe, Fielding, Sterne, Johnson, Gray, and other writers of this period, this study demonstrates how he was not only influenced by them, but interprets them for us in quite a modern way.
