Sumario: | "A Beckett Canon by renowned theater scholar Ruby Cohn is [a] ... guide to the complete works of Samuel Beckett. Beginning in 1929 with Beckett's earliest work, the book examines the variety of genres in which he worked: poems, short stories, novels, plays, radio pieces, teleplays, reviews, and criticism.

Intended as a resource to accompany the reading of Beckett's writing--in English or French, published or unpublished, in part or as a whole--the book offers context, information, and interpretation of the work of one of the last century's most important writers"--From publisher's description.
