Beschreibung
Confinement appears repeatedly in Samuel Beckett's oeuvre - from the asylums central to Murphyand Wattto the images of confinement that shape plays such as Waiting for Godotand Endgame. Drawing on spatial theory and new archival research, Beckett in Confinementexplores these recurring concepts of closed space to cast new light on the ethical and political dimensions of Beckett's work. Covering the full range of Beckett's writing career, including two plays he completed for prisoners, Catastropheand the unpublished 'Mongrel Mime', the book shows how this engagement with the ethics of representing prisons and asylums stands at the heart of Beckett's poetics.
