Editorial Reviews

Product Description

From A to Z, this is an indispensable guide to the works, life, and thought of one of the most important writers of our time. The Nobel Prize-winning author Samuel Beckett was a literary treasure, and this work represents the only comprehensive reference to the concepts, characters, and biographical details mentioned by, or related to, Beckett. Painstakingly and lovingly compiled by acclaimed Beckett scholars C. J. Ackerley and S. E. Gontarski, it is alphabetical, cross-referenced, and laid out in a very user-friendly format. The Grove Companion to Samuel Beckett provides an organized trove of information for students and scholars alike, and is a must for any serious reader of Beckett.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the best reference work on Beckett known to me, November 24, 2007
By Paul Xuereb (Malta, Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fine, scholarly work that should be in the hands not just of scholars but also of every serious student of Beckett and late 20th century drama. The cross-referencing is very useful. Above all, each entry is based on a thorough knowledge of the literature on the subject. First rate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A major work, April 19, 2005
This is the definitive work on Beckett. You should buy ten copies of this for all your friends. This work is coming back in vogue. Be ahead of the curve.
