Following the highly succesful Beckett’s Relations conference at the University of Edinburgh, and to coincide with the launch of the Society’s publication The Beckett Review, recently-elected president, Liz Barry, marked the occasion with her first public address.
Detailing the work of the Society over the past year and outlining the programme of events which it will support over the coming months, Prof. Barry alluded to the ‘vibrant condition of the Society in this, its 48th year: its expanding membership, groundbreaking scholarship, flourishing relations with prominent artists, commitment to Global Majority and non-Anglophone Becketts, and most of all, open and supportive community–bucking so many trends in the wider academic and political world’.
