Translating Samuel Beckett around the World, Paperback / softback Book

Translating Samuel Beckett around the World Paperback / softback

Edited by Jose Francisco Fernandez, Pascale Sardin

Part of the New Interpretations of Beckett in the Twenty-First Century series

Paperback / softback

Description

The global reception of Samuel Beckett raises numerous questions: in which areas of the world was Beckett first translated?

Why were Beckett texts sometimes slow to penetrate certain cultures?

How were national literatures impacted by Beckett's oeuvre?

Translating Samuel Beckett around the World brings together leading researchers in Beckett studies to discuss these questions and explore the fate of Beckett in their own societies and national languages.

The current text provides ample coverage of the presence of Beckett in geographical contexts normally ignored by literary criticism, and reveals unknown aspects of the 1969 Nobel Prize winner interacting with translators of his work in a number of different countries.
