Recenzii
“Brilliantly original, a delight to read and thoroughly researched, Transdisciplinary Beckett explores how Beckett combines elements from the visual arts and music with and against language and the boundaries of specific media (prose, radio, and television) to forge a new transdisciplinary mode of composition. Jeffery brings a thorough knowledge of the visual arts and classical and contemporary music to bear on detailed analyses of Beckett’s creative processes, with wide-ranging reference to archival manuscripts and perceptive, engaging readings of individual works. Specific moments or elements are illuminated, such as Erskine’s painting in Watt, or the colour blue in Beckett’s late prose texts, affording original insights into individual works and into how a transdisciplinary perspective can shed new light on Beckett’s conjunction of different media in his compositional processes.”— Professor Anna McMullan, University of Reading
“The greatest strength of Lucy Jeffery’s richly engaging book is that it grants us a new critical language with which to approach the junction between words and music, between sound and image – a meeting ground that lies not only at the heart of Beckett’s imagination, but at the ground of twentieth-century aesthetics more generally.”—Peter Boxall, editor-in-chief of Textual Practice, University of Sussex
“A work of excellent scholarship, Transdisciplinary Beckett opens up new ways of thinking about Beckett’s creative processes. It does so by transcending the usual distinctions between media, examining instead the way Beckett harnessed musical as well as visual techniques in his writing. For anyone interested in Beckett, music and the visual arts, this is essential reading.”—Mark Nixon, Co-Director of the Beckett International Foundation at the University of Reading
