TRANSDISCIPLINARY BECKETT - LUCY JEFFERY KARTON...

This is the first monograph to analyse Beckett's use of the visual arts  music  and
broadcasting media through a transdisciplinary approach. It considers how Beckett's complex and
varied use of art  music  and media in a selection of his novels  radio plays  teleplays  and
later short prose informs his creative process. Investigating specific instances where
Beckett's writing adopts musical or visual structures  Lucy Jeffery identifies instances of
Beckett's transdisciplinarity and considers how this approach to writing facilitates ways of
expressing familiar Beckettian themes of abstraction  ambiguity  longing  and endlessness. With
case studies spanning forty years  she evaluates Beckett's stylistic shifts in relation to the
cultural context  particularly the technological advancements and artistic movements  during
which they were written. With new examples from Beckett's notebooks  critical essays  and
letters  Transdisciplinary Beckett evidences how the drastic changes that took place in the
visual arts and in musical composition influenced Beckett and  in turn  were influenced by him.
Transdisciplinary Beckett situates Beckett as a key figure not just in the literary marketplace
but also in the fields of music  art  and broadcasting.
