Through a sustained dialogue with the theoretical work of Maurice Blanchot, it accomplishes a systematic interrogation of what happens in the space of literature when writing, and first of all Beckett’s, encounters the language of terror, thereby giving new significance – ethical, ontological, and political – to what speaks in Beckett’s texts.Key FeaturesArticulates a novel conceptual framework through the language of terror for reading Beckett’s major post-1945 works in prose, all the while engaging with key thinkers in the discourse of contemporary critical theory like Maurice Blanchot, Emmanuel Levinas, and Alain BadiouProvides for the first time a thorough articulation of the significance of terror to Blanchot’s understanding not only of what literature is as literature, but also of the literary history of modernity that Blanchot explicitly traces from the Marquis de Sade to Samuel BeckettAffords literary studies (and Beckett and Blanchot studies specifically) a distinctive and timely voice in the veritable terror industry" of scholarly research that has proliferated in the twenty-first century against the politico-historical backdrop of the War on Terror" Mode of access: Internet via World Wide Web.
