Produktbeschreibung

"Beckett and Ecology is the first full-length book to offer a wide range of scholarly and artistic responses to the ecological crises provoked, mediated, or challenged by Beckett's work. The volume reflects on the varied practices and narratives in Beckettian intermedial ecologies, offering new insights into the connections between Beckett and the Anthropocene in the terrains of translation, adaptation, performance and the visual arts. Chapters also explore the potential of Happy Days (1961) for ecological thought, and the role it has taken in ecodramaturgy"--
