Samuel Beckett’s Italian Modernisms: Tradition, Texts, Performance: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies

Editat de Michela Bariselli, Davide Crosara, Antonio Gambacorta, Mario Martino
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 dec 2024
In the wake of both Joycean and Dantean celebrations, this volume aims to investigate the fecund influence of Italian culture on Samuel Beckett’s work, with a specific focus on the twentieth century.
Located at the intersection of historical avant-garde movements and a renewed interest in tradition, Italian modernism reimagined Italy and its culture, projecting it beyond the shadow of fascism. Following in Joyce’s footsteps, Samuel Beckett soon became an attentive reader of Italian modernist authors. These had a profound effect on his early work, shaping his artistic identity. The influence of his early readings found its way also into Beckett’s postwar writing and, most poignantly, in his theatre. The contributions in this collection rekindle the debate around Beckett as modernist author through the lenses of Italian culture.
This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies, Italian studies, English studies, comparative literature.
