Beckett and Cioran by Steven Matthews Hardcover Book

Description: Beckett and Cioran by Steven Matthews This Element discusses the link between Samuel Beckett and E. M. Cioran, drawing upon the terms of Becketts engagement with Ciorans writings, from the 1950s to the 1970s. Aspects of Ciorans conclusion about the formal nature that philosophy must assume chime with some of the formal decisions taken by Beckett in the mid-late prose. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This Element discusses the association between Samuel Beckett, and the Romanian-born philosopher, E. M. Cioran. It draws upon the known biographical detail, but, more substantially, upon the terms of Becketts engagement with Ciorans writings, from the 1950s to the 1970s. Certain of Ciorans key conceptualisations, such as that of the meteque, and his version of philosophical scepticism, resonate with aspects of Becketts writing as it evolved beyond the siege in the room. More particularly, aspects of Ciorans conclusion about the formal nature that philosophy must assume chime with some of the formal decisions taken by Beckett in the mid-late prose. Through close reading of some of Becketts key works such as Texts for Nothing and How It Is, and through consideration of Becketts choices when translating between English and French, the issues of identity and understanding shared by these two settlers in Paris are mutually illuminated.
