“Beckett and Modernism reinvigorates existing debates about the relationship between the author and the artistic movement, and offers a more complex portrait than one might first expect. Its historical summaries offer useful starting points from a range of national and cultural perspectives, …Beckett and Modernism is a collection that offers new insights and several unexpected surprises.” (Rhys Tranter, James Joyce Literary Supplement, Vol. 33 (1), 2019)
