Damned to Fame: The Life of Samuel Beckett; Samuel Beckett: The Last Modernist; The World of Samuel Beckett, 1906–1946
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the legacy of Samuel Beckett as presented in the works of James Knowlson, Anthony Cronin, and Lois Gordon. The Second World War changed Beckett, since he joined the Resistance after returning to Paris when the war broke out. Beckett's war service and voluntary work in the early months of peace in a Red Cross hospital in Normandy brought him closer to ordinary people. Beckett's job consisted of typing and translating for an intelligence-gathering cell belonging to the British Special Operations Executive. The chapter notes that Gordon depicted Beckett's interest as being focused more on politics than initially believed. Meanwhile, Cronin's work elaborated on Beckett's tangled sex life.
