Afterword, Peter Boxall. 330 $aThis collection of essays reveals the extent to which politics is fundamental to our understanding of Samuel Beckett?s life and writing. Bringing together internationally established and emerging scholars, Beckett and Politics considers Beckett?s work as it relates to three broad areas of political discourse: language politics, biopolitics and geopolitics. Through a range of critical approaches, including performance studies, political theory, gender theory, historicizing approaches and language theory, the book demonstrates how politics is more than just another thematic lens: it is fundamentally and structurally intrinsic to Beckett?s life, his texts and subsequent interpretations of them. This important collection of essays demonstrates that Beckett?s work is not only ripe for political engagement, but also contains significant opportunities for understanding and illuminating the broader relationships between literature, culture and politics. . 410 0$aNew Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature,$x2731-3190 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature 606 $aDrama 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterature 606 $aDrama 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aDrama. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterature. 615 24$aDrama. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 676 $a828.91409 676 $a800 702 $aDavies$b William$f1991- 702 $aBailey$b Helen$f1964-2016, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483948003321 996 $aBeckett and politics$92853415 997 $aUNINA
