The Cambridge companion to the body in literature
\"This Companion offers the first systematic analysis of the representation of the body in literature. It historicizes embodiment by charting our evolving understanding of the body from the Middle Ages to the present day, and addresses such questions as sensory perception, technology, language and affect; maternal bodies, disability and the representation of ageing; eating and obesity, pain, death and dying; and racialized and posthuman bodies. This Companion also considers science and its construction of the body through disciplines such as obstetrics, sexology and neurology. Leading scholars in the field devote special attention to poetry, prose, drama and film, and chart a variety of theoretical understandings of the body\"-- Provided by publisher.

Beckett and the Laws of Habit
[...]it might even be argued that an appreciation of its functions and mechanism is crucial to our understanding of Beckett's oeuvre. [...]the \"laws of habit,\" as Beckett calls them in Proust, only grow stronger in Beckett's late work.

Beckett and Phenomenology
Existentialism and poststructuralism have provided the two main theoretical approaches to Samuel Beckett's work. These influential philosophical movements, however, owe a great debt to the phenomenological tradition. This volume, with contributions by major international scholars, examines the phenomenal in Beckett's literary worlds, comparing and contrasting his writing with key figures including Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It advances an analysis of hitherto unexplored phenomenological themes, such as nausea, immaturity and sleep, in Beckett's work. Through an exploration of specific thinkers and Beckett's own artistic method, it offers the first sustained and comprehensive account of Beckettian phenomenology.

Centennial Beckett: The Gray Canon and the Fusion of Horizons
If early approaches to Beckett's work might best be characterized as humanist-existentialist, and if the second wave of critical work on the author could broadly be described as poststructuralist, this third wave of Beckett criticism is more liberated from critical orthodoxies, and can broadly speaking be divided into two schools that also at times productively overlap: empirical criticism which relies heavily on biography and the vast number of manuscripts, notebooks, and letters Beckett wrote, and an imaginative \"fusion of horizons,\" to quote Beckett's French critic, Bruno Clement, consisting of readings produced by critics and philosophers \"who have known how to see in the oeuvres . . . that which was appropriate to them\" (Clement in Beckett after Beckett, 131). Life of Samuel Beckett, has had a considerable impact on Beckett criticism, in providing scholars with an informed understanding of Beckett's formative reading, interest in art, working habits, and preoccupations.1 The wealth of archival material, whether in the form of correspondence, notebooks, or manuscript drafts, referenced in Knowlson's biography, together with the archival material made available to critics in recent years, has itself triggered a rise in what could labeled a new empiricism as well as the prominence of genetic criticism in Beckett studies. In an insightful discussion of a that has puzzled critics for decades, Gontarski compellingly argues that the public posture of diminished authority often became a useful means of deflection [Beckett], that is, itself a performance, inseparable from the mystique of the work ... as more of the peripheral, secondary, or what we might call the ghost or grey canon comes to light and is made public (letters, notebooks, manuscripts and the like), it inevitably interacts with and reshapes, redefines, even from the margins (or especially from the margins), the white canon (or the traditional canon), and the more apparent it becomes that Beckett's voice was aporetic, as plural if not contradictory as that of his (other) characters.\\n, the avatar of Duthuit, aims towards \"reintegration,\" \"continuity and relation,\" while B., Beckett himself, refuses to offer full arguments and insists, both formally and thematically, non-relation, inconsistency, and disjunction (187, 189).
