These influential philosophical movements, however, owe a great debt to the phenomenological tradition. This volume, with contributions by major international scholars, examines the phenomenal in Beckett's literary worlds, comparing and contrasting his writing with key figures including Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It advances an analysis of hitherto unexplored phenomenological themes, such as nausea, immaturity and sleep, in Beckett's work. Through an exploration of specific thinkers and Beckett's own artistic method, it offers the first sustained and comprehensive account of Beckettian phenomenology."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aPhenomenology and literature 606 $aPhenomenology in literature 606 $2Literary studies: from c 1900 - 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhenomenology and literature. 615 0$aPhenomenology in literature. 676 $a848.91409 702 $aFeldman$b Matthew 702 $aMaude$b Ulrika 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459070803321 996 $aBeckett and phenomenology$91965814 997 $aUNINA
