Among the best-represented authors in Samuel Beckett’s library was Ludwig Wittgenstein, yet the philosopher’s relevance to the Nobel laureate’s work is scarcely acknowledged and seldom elucidated. Beckett after Wittgenstein is the first book to examine Beckett’s formative encounters with, and profound affinities to, Wittgenstein’s thought, style, and character.While a number of influential critics, including the philosopher Alain Badiou, have discerned a transition in Beckett’s work beginning in the late 1950s, Furlani is the first to identify and clarify how this change occurs in conjunction with the writer’s sustained engagement with Wittgenstein’s thought on, for example, language, cognition, subjectivity, alterity, temporality, belief, hermeneutics, logic, and perception. Drawing on a wealth of Beckett’s archival materials, much of it unpublished, Furlani’s study reveals the extent to which Wittgenstein fostered Beckett’s views and emboldened his purposes.

Walking is a determining trope and structure in Samuel Beckett's oeuvre, furnishing a textual and performance figure, a framing device, and a material practice. The walk begins as a motif, becomes a rhythm, expands into a compositional principle, and culminates in an ontology -- a defining means by which his characters are cognitively embodied and by which meaning is grounded. The book contends that Beckett's literary pedestrianism involve passage from an evasive and narcissistic vestige of Romanticism and a solipsistic variation on Edwardian autonomy to an embrace of mutuality and transitory being: life not as a network of stations so much as a meshwork of ways, peripatetic coming and going as the basis of human possibility and ethical value. The study examines the Beckett walk with reference to, for instance, cognitive theory, materialities theory, environmental studies, infrastructure theory, cultural and literary history, speech-act theory, mobility studies and performance studies.

Walking now organizes writing in a beguiling variety of ways, by writers not merely thinking on their feet but with their feet. Among them are Seamus Heaney, Annie Dillard, W.G. Sebald, Annie Ernaux, Peter Handke, Jamaica Kincaid, Bruce Chatwin, James Baldwin, Alice Oswald, Robert Macfarlane, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Teju Cole, Iain Sinclair, Anne Carson and Werner Herzog. They exploit the complementarity between walking, thinking and creation to devise eclectic, exploratory and meandering works that transgress generic boundaries and extend the range of literature. Foot Notes characterizes in literary, cultural and historical detail this burgeoning field of previously unclassified writing that reorients the literary from the ground up, one step at a time.Contemporary walking texts have contributed to the revival of flânerie, hiking and pilgrimage, and to the transformation of the very category of the pedestrian. In the footsteps of Rousseau, the Wordsworths, Thoreau, Nietzsche, Woolf, the Surrealists, Benjamin and the Situationists, walking becomes not simply a theme but a means of treating themes; not only a vehicle for knowledge but an embodied form of thinking that can modify conceptions of public space, the environment and cognition itself. For marginalized groups whose mobility has historically been circumscribed, the walk entails a dissenting politics that has impelled gendered, racialized and indigenous writing.Foot Notes considers the scale, diversity and impact of the growing contemporary walking literature in the context of the social forces, artistic practices and politics that this resurgence enables. The book shows that, far from exercises in retreat from the social, walking texts have been consequential for urbanism, conservation, sustainability, accessibility, equality and public health, while blazing new trails for literature.
