[edit] BECKETT'S EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

This title is a study of Samuel Beckett's affinity with the British 18th century and of the influence of such writers as Swift, Pope, Defoe, Fielding, Sterne, and Johnson on his work. It demonstrates how Becket was not only influenced by them but how he interprets them for us in a quite modern way.

Beckett's Eighteenth Century is the first book-length study of Samuel Beckett's affinity with the British eighteenth century and of the influence of its writers on his work. Reading Swift, Pope, Defoe, Fielding, Sterne, Johnson, Gray, and other writers of this period, this study demonstrates how he was not only influenced by them but interprets them for us in a quite modern way. Beckett's uniqueness is not questioned here, but this uniqueness is shown, paradoxically, to have its roots at least in part in his native literature of two centuries ago .
