Falsifying Beckett – new insights in Beckett scholars

Samuel Beckett was one of the twentieth centurys greatest writers. Matthew Feldman, one of the leading Beckett scholars of the past generation, is now exemplifying the recent „empirical turn“ in Beckett studies with his new publication Falsifying Beckett – Essays on Archives, Philosophy, and Methodology in Beckett Studies (ISBN 978-3-8382-0636-3).

The book offers new readings of Beckett by returning to the ‚grey canon‘ – the archive of notebooks and unpublished papers that have transformed our understanding of Beckett’s debts and influences.
Mary Bryden, University of Reading, on Falsifying Beckett:
“These insightful essays offer the reader an illuminating journey through Becketts writing and its cultural milieu. They will be indispensable for any serious scholar of Beckett.”
