Samuel Beckett: The Language Of Self is a book written by Frederick John Hoffman that delves into the works of Samuel Beckett, a renowned Irish playwright, novelist, and poet. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Beckett's use of language in his works, including his famous play Waiting for Godot and his novel Molloy. Hoffman explores how Beckett's use of language reflects his personal experiences and worldview, and how it contributes to the themes of his works. The book also discusses the influence of other writers on Beckett's writing style, such as James Joyce and Marcel Proust. In addition to examining Beckett's language use, the book also provides a biographical account of his life, including his childhood in Ireland, his experiences during World War II, and his later years in France. Overall, Samuel Beckett: The Language Of Self provides a deep dive into the literary techniques and personal experiences that shaped one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
