The recently published Beckett and Medicine (Cambridge University Press) will receive its official launch next month. This online event will celebrate the publication of Ulrika Maude’s groundbreaking new book with responses from Doug Battersby, Molly Crozier, and Andre Furlani.
Samuel Beckett and Medicine offers the first sustained analysis of the author’s abiding interest in medicine and medical discourses, advancing insights into the representation of illness, neurodiversity, disability, ageing, and dying in his work. It analyses Beckett’s representation of the production of language, offering new ways of understanding the often perplexing formal and stylistic experimentation of his work.
The launch event will take place on Tuesday 9 September at 17:00 GMT+1. Attendance is free of charge but participants must pre-register at this link.
