After a mid-career adoption of French as a language of composition, Beckett continued to write in his native English as well as French, and to translate his work, often unfaithfully, between the two. This study focuses on how Beckett's self-translation emerges as a crucial aspect of his exploration of uncertainty, exile, and the myth of identity.
