Reviews
"This excellent collection of critical essays revitalises the study of one of the most vexed questions in Beckett Studies the role played by Beckett's bilingualism in the shaping of his texts. Collectively the contributors map out new and exciting ways to approach and understand Beckett's complex strategies of translation and self-translation." -Mark Nixon, Co-Director of the Beckett International Foundation at the University of Reading
