The aim of this study is to suggest an interpretation of memory and forgetting in a selection of Samuel Beckett's plays. The main focus of interest is the protagonists' memory, whose interpretation is based on a psychological approach: Beckett makes creative use of experimental psychology in that he uses his protagonists' memory in numerous variations which all stress distinct aspects of this theme. The psychological approach of this study is complemented with the findings of gerontology which take account of the characteristics of the memory of the elderly.

To speak of memory and body in Samuel Beckett's late theatre is to recognize the need for a new kind of vocabulary to define and describe these terms, as well a s alternative ways of relating them to one another. On his stage, memory and bod y are paired down to their rudimentary constituents; in Play (1963), Not I (1970 ), Footfalls (1976) and Rockaby (1982)--the four plays that I am focusing on, B eckett suggests models of representation and relation which reveal that new ways of understanding memory and body are necessary. In the first chapter of this study, I present my argument that the body and mem ory are in a productive crisis in Beckett's late drama. Following the introducti on, I contextualize my discussion within relevant strands of Beckett criticism i n the Prior Work section. I also reveal that memory and body are central keywor ds in Beckett criticism that have suffered at times from simplifying and general izing tendencies. Questioning the binaries that have typically organized their r elation, I claim that the body and memory in crisis reveals the interdependence of remembering-forgetting and mind-body. The second chapter discusses the two dramas Play and Not I in order to argue th at the fragmented bodies and memories in these two plays disclose a state of cri sis. In its emphasis on process, crisis prioritizes and sustains the search of t he characters. In my analysis, I focus on the features of what I identify as a b ody-in-crisis, and a memory-in-crisis. By locating a forward momentum in these p lays, I argue that despite their seemingly defeated contexts, the three disembod ied heads in Play and the pair of lips in Not I, are empowered to undergo a ceas eless quest for understanding and closure. In the third and final chapter of this study I read Footfalls and Rockaby in o rder to argue that the crisis of memory and body in these two plays allows the m ain characters, May and W, to confront their past and recreate it. I foreground the pervasiveness of the Beckettian body and its symbiosis with the mind. I disc uss how memory in crisis allows these characters to accept and alter their histo ries through the incorporation of forgetting and fiction. I underscore the means through which May and W's bodies and memories can be seen as expressive acts, t hus, enabling these characters to transform stasis ...

From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius … Waiting for Godot is one of the masterpieces of the century.” The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.

Beckett remains one of the most important writers of the twentieth century whose radical experimentations in form and content won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. This Critical Companion encompasses his plays for the stage, radio and television, and will be indispensable to students of his work. Challenging and at times perplexing, Beckett's work is represented on almost every literature, theatre and Irish studies curriculum in universities in North America, Europe and Australia. Katherine Weiss' admirably clear study of his work provides the perfect companion, illuminating each play and Beckett's vision, and investigating his experiments with the body, voice and technology. It includes in-depth studies of the major works Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Krapp's Last Tape, and as with other volumes in Methuen Drama's Critical Companions series it features too a series of essays by other scholars and practitioners offering different critical perspectives on Beckett in performance that will inform students' own critical thinking. Together with a series of resources including a chronology and a list of further reading, this is ideal for all students and readers of Beckett's work.

In Happy Days, Samuel Beckett pursues his relentless search for the meaning of existence, probing the tenuous relationships that bind one person to another, and each to the universe, top time past and time present. Once again, stripping theater to its barest essentials, Happy Days offers only two characters: Winnie, a woman of about fifty, and Willie, a man of about sixty. In the first act Winnie is buried up to her waist in a mound of earth, but still has the use of her arms and few earthly possessions—toothbrush, tube of toothpaste, small mirror, revolver, handkerchief, spectacles; in the second act she is embedded up to her neck and can move only her eyes. Willie lives and moves—on all fours—behind the mound, appearing intermittently and replying only occasionally into Winnie’s long monologue, but the knowledge of his presence is a source of comfort and inspiration to her, and doubtless the prerequisite for all her “happy days.”

Samuel Beckett: A Casebook may be characterized as a new collection of essays by a generation of Beckett scholars who did not have access to the author. This text demarcates the line between the critical work produced when Beckett was alive, and the critical work produced within ten years of the author's death. This collection is distinctive, too, because the text offers a variety of critical perspectives which engage and problematize Beckett's dramatic canon. From Deleuzean rhizomatics to New Historicism to the crucial question of gender-each reading re-positions Beckett's plays and forces us to rethink our standard interpretations of Beckett's drama.

This collection of essays the first volume in the Dialogue series brings together new and experienced scholars to present innovative critical approaches to Samuel Beckett s play Endgame. These essays broach a broad range of topics, many of which are inherently controversial and have generated significant levels of debate in the past. Critical readings of the play in relation to music, metaphysics, intertextuality, and time are counterpointed by essays that consider the nature of performance, the history of the theater and the music hall, Beckett s attitudes to directing his play, and his responses to other directors. This collection will be of special interest to Beckett scholars, to students of literature and drama, and to drama theorists and practitioners.
