Samuel Beckett: The Comic Gamut (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258049119)

""Samuel Beckett: The Comic Gamut"" by Ruby Cohn is a critical analysis of the works of Samuel Beckett, a renowned Irish playwright and novelist. The book explores Beckett's use of humor and comedy in his works, which is often overlooked in traditional literary criticism. Cohn examines how Beckett's use of humor serves as a coping mechanism for the absurdity and meaninglessness of human existence, and how it reflects his overall philosophy of life. The book covers Beckett's entire career, from his early works to his later, more experimental pieces. It includes in-depth analysis of his plays, novels, and other writings, as well as his use of language, structure, and symbolism. ""Samuel Beckett: The Comic Gamut"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Beckett's works, as well as for scholars of modernist and postmodernist literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
