Description: Beckett and Buddhism by Angela Moorjani Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book will be a key resource for readers interested in one of the most acclaimed and influential writers of the twentieth century, Samuel Beckett. In clear and accessible prose, the book reassesses and elucidates the Buddhist thinking coursing through Becketts fiction and theatre for over half a century. Publisher Description Beckett and Buddhism undertakes a twenty-first-century reassessment of the Buddhist resonances in Samuel Becketts writing. These reverberations, as Angela Moorjani demonstrates, originated in his early reading of Schopenhauer. Drawing on letters and archives along with recent studies of Buddhist thought and Schopenhauers knowledge of it, the book charts the Buddhist concepts circling through Becketts visions of the human predicament in a blend of tears and laughter. Moorjani offers an in-depth elucidation of texts that are shown to intersect with the negative and paradoxical path of the Buddha, which she sets in dialogue with Western thinking. She brings further perspectives from cognitive philosophy and science to bear on creative emptiness, the illusory I, and Becketts probing of the writing process. Readers will benefit from this far-reaching study of one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century who explored uncharted topologies in his fiction, theatre, and poetry. Author Biography Angela Moorjani is Professor Emerita of Modern Languages and Intercultural Pragmatics at the University of Maryland-UMBC. She has extensively explored the multidimensional writings of Samuel Beckett in her many publications. In her other books and articles, she investigates the effects of trauma and mourning on modernist writers and artists.
