p
Samuel Beckett’s Drama
New Interpretations of Beckett in the Twenty-First Century
Series Editor:
Jennifer M. Jeffers
As the leading literary figure to emerge from post–World War II Europe, Samuel Beckett’s
texts and his literary and intellectual legacy have yet to be fully appreciated by critics and
scholars. The goal of
New Interpretations of Beckett in the Twenty-First Century
is to stimulate
y
new approaches and develop fresh perspectives on Beckett, his texts, and his legacy. The series
will provide a forum for original and interdisciplinary interpretations concerning any aspect
of Beckett’s work or his influence upon subsequent writers, artists, and thinkers.
Jennifer M. Jeffers is Professor of English and Associate Dean and Ombudsperson for the
