Samuel Beckett and Catastrophe is a groundbreaking collection of original essays that delves into the intricate relationship between Samuel Beckett and the concept of catastrophe, encompassing a wide range of themes such as war, the Holocaust, nuclear disasters, and ecological crises. In response to the post-catastrophic situations of the twentieth century, Beckett crafted characters that often exude a sense of having endured an unknown and devastating catastrophe. While the significance of catastrophe in Beckett's work has occasionally been acknowledged, a comprehensive exploration of his aesthetics and work in relation to this concept has yet to be undertaken. This collection aims to fill that gap by presenting the first sustained study on the theme of catastrophe in Beckett, making a substantial contribution to the field of Beckett studies.
