Beckett the Playwright by John Fletcher
This book, first published in 1985, stresses Becketts success as an innovator in the theatre through a close reading and analysis of his plays. The differing backgrounds of the two authors enables them to approach Becketts drama in a particularly fruitful way: Their analysis is clever yet level-headed, readable but does not shirk complexities. (Times Educational Supplement). Brilliant collection of essays on Beckett and his works. (Irish Times)
