The Anthem Beckett Studies Reader, edited by S. E. Gontarski, is an indispensable guide to the restless, rigorously inventive field of Beckett studies-one that mirrors Samuel Beckett's own refusal of settled meanings and stable forms. Bringing together landmark essays and influential critical interventions, this collection maps the evolution of Beckett scholarship across literature, theater, media, philosophy, and performance, revealing how Beckett's work continues to unsettle interpretive habits and disciplinary boundaries alike.
