Beckett’s Dream Notebook<\/h3>\n
Beckett\u2019s Dream Notebook<\/em><\/p>\nEdited, annotated, and with an introductory essay by John Pilling.
\nBeckett International Foundation, 1999. (xxiv, 173 pages).<\/p>\n
Between 1930 and 1932 Beckett entered almost 1200 items in a hardbacked notebook which he used on the way to writing his first full-length novel, Dream of Fair to Middling Women<\/em>, published posthumously in 1992. The range of references is unusually wide even for Beckett, including a life of Napoleon, studies of Chinese music and civilization, a book on astronomy, classics of religious thought and what booksellers used to call \u2019curiosa\u2019. The jottings help to explain much which has previously been considered obscure or not worthy of comment in Beckett\u2019s writings before Murphy<\/em>, with some items even pointing forward to En attendant Godot<\/em> and the \u2019Trilogy\u2019 and as late as Not I<\/em>. No other notebook contains so much raw material to be used (or abused) as Beckett saw fit, and not even James Knowlson\u2019s biography brings us quite so close to the mind and creative practices of the young Beckett. Beckett\u2019s Dream Notebook<\/em> is quite an exceptional sourcebook, indispensable to anyone seeking to understand Beckett\u2019s development. This is the first such notebook to be edited and annotated, permission for publication having been generously granted by the Beckett Estate.<\/p>\nCasebound<\/strong> (ISBN 0 7049 1335 6): \u00a325.00<\/p>\nPlease add postage and packing as follows:<\/p>\n
