{"product_id":"becketts-books-matthew-feldman-9780826443434","title":"Beckett's Books: A Cultural History of the Interwar Notes","description":"\u003cp\u003eSamuel Beckett is a challenging giant of 20th century literature, and Beckett studies increasingly focus on the interwar period for evidence of Beckett's subsequent embrace of an 'art of failure'. \u003cbr\u003eThis monograph is based on close analysis of the newly-released notebooks and transcriptions compiled by Beckett from 1929-1940, which shed important and unique insight into Beckett's working methods, original sources and literary development. In particular they reveal the central paradox that Beckett's professions of 'ignorance and impotence' were founded upon extensive erudition and academic practices reflecting his interests in philosophy and psychology. \u003cbr\u003eThis is the first book to offer an extended study of how recent archival discoveries can contribute to the fundamental transformation of Beckett's truly revolutionary literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Feldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826443435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826443434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 279","brand":"Matthew Feldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372322640127,"sku":"9780826443434","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c2d5bbd-118c-43f3-89ca-401e12cc8a47.jpg?v=1732725632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becketts-books-matthew-feldman-9780826443434","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
