Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the evolving role of women throughout Beckett's work. Beckett's early writing is structured upon very sharply defined gender polaritiesóobjects of alarm, lust, derision, or indifference. Beckett's shift from fiction to stage and media dramaógiving a voice to womenóunsettles this adversarial structure. In later prose and drama, gender qualifies Beckett's people for neither fear nor favor. Mary Bryden's analysis drawing on the insights of such French writers as Deleuze and Guattari, and Helene Cixous, traces how gender dualisms are undermined over the course of Beckett's writing career. She examines the status of sexual indeterminacy in Beckett's work, and concludes with a remarkable case study: that of the mother figure, whose profile alters from dread to tenderness. The book embraces not only Beckett's published prose and drama, but also a number of unpublished and draft manuscripts from Reading University's Beckett Archive. Women in Samuel Beckett's Prose and Drama, will be of great interest to Literary Studies courses in both French and English departments, and Women's Studies courses.
