Beckett and NatureAuthor(s): Charles Clements, Eleanor Green, James Martell\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, United States\nImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\nISBN-13: 9798765125410, 979-8765125410\nSynopsis\nNew analyses on the insightful ways in which Becketts work actively engages with contested notions of Nature and the natural, developing a radical version of modernisms main questions and insights. \n\nBeckett and Nature takes its cue from contemporary developments in Beckett scholarship focused on ecocriticism, posthumanism, and the Anthropocene, going beyond them into a questioning of the very concepts of Nature and the natural. It examines one of the most unthought ontological dimensions of literature and life: that symbolic space, deemed natural or part of Nature, appears necessary and undeniable and, therefore, impossible to be deconstructed. In doing so, the authors show that, in fact, this space takes on many shapes, recognizing three natural dimensions.
