Inhaltsangabe

In this 2003 book, Albright shows Beckett experimenting with the notion that an artistic medium might itself be made to speak. Engaging with radio, film, and television, prose and drama, Albright's eloquent, erudite and highly original book shows Beckett becoming a sophisticated theorist of the very notion of the aesthetic.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"...an intellectual tour de force that offers a profound and lucid analysis of Beckett's artistic practice. Albright is at ease with the numerous discourses he uses and writes poetically and provocatively. For its elegance, rigour, and insights, Beckett and Aesthetics ought to be required reading for anyone interested in Beckett's drama and performance work." Modern Drama
