This book, first published in 1985, stresses Beckett's 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 Beckett's 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)
