Book Review: Easily the best reference work on Beckett known to me
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fine, scholarly work that should be in the hands not just of scholars but also of every serious student of Beckett and late 20th century drama. The cross-referencing is very useful. Above all, each entry is based on a thorough knowledge of the literature on the subject. First rate.
