LCC: PR6003
Edition: (hbk.)
Notes:
This work investigates the relationship between verbal cliché, memory
and authority in Beckett's prose and theatre, and argues that by
consciously manipulating the language of clichés, Beckett challenges
intellectual, social and religious authority and argues for the
creative value of stupidity, a key concept in the thinking of
philosophers such as Wittgenstein and Deleuze.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 218-227) and index.
