Double-weighted statement
Single-authored AHRC-funded monograph (80,000 words). It takes an explicitly interdisciplinary approach that brings multiple theoretical areas to bear upon understanding of testimony in Beckett (including trauma theory, autopoeisis, information theory). The primary corpus is substantial, and refers to unpublished Beckett manuscripts (34 MSS variants analysed at Reading University Beckett Collection and Harry Ransom Humanities Research Centre). Some of these sources poorly documented in existing criticism. Chapters 1 includes a reworked version of an article published in Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd’hui, Présence de Samuel Beckett, no.17 (2006), 249-64 (returned to RAE 2008).
