A Beckett Canon

Sobre el libro A Beckett Canon de Ruby Cohn publicado por Michigan Up al 2006:

This is an indispensable guide to the remarkable oeuvre of Samuel Beckett, spanning a period of sixty years. "A Beckett Canon" by renowned theater scholar Ruby Cohn offers an invaluable guide to the entire corpus, commenting on Beckett´s work in its original language. Beginning in 1929 with Beckett´s earliest work, the book examines the variety of genres in which he worked: poems, short stories, novels, plays, radio pieces, teleplays, reviews, and criticism. Cohn grapples with the difficulties in Beckett´s work, including the opaque erudition of the early English verse and fiction, and the searching depths and syntactical ellipsis of the late works. Intended as a resource to accompany the reading of Beckett´s writing - in English or French, published or unpublished, in part or as a whole - the book offers context, information, and interpretation of the work of one of the last century´s most important writers.
