Which Text, Whose Voice?- Rossana Sebellin; Chapter 9. Beckett After Language - Mena MitranoReviews“The approach to the problem of Samuel Beckett’s interest in Italian culture is new and original. The analysis of far less-noticed aspects both in juvenile and mature Beckett’s works is accurate and persuasive. The research of allusions above all in not only prominent artists and in not only great arts but in less-important Italian artists (Gastone Novelli) and popular genres (opera and radio) is very important. The intersection between theory and analysis is interesting. The organization of the contents is very good.” —Annamaria Cascetta, Professor of History of Theatre, Università Cattolica, Milan, Italy. “Samuel Beckett’s Italian Negotiations fills an important gap in both Beckett’s studies and the reception of Beckett in Italy, and it offers provocations to further study on these issues. Its editors, Davide Crosara and Mario Martino, have done an impressive job of selecting contributors from the ‘Beckett and Italy’ conference and foregrounding new facets of this relationship that are sure to interest scholars and students of Modernist literature and theory and of Italian studies even as much of Beckett’s art constitutes ‘a parody of modernist cosmopolitanism itself’, as Crosara notes in his ‘Introduction to the volume’.” —Stanley Gontarski, Florida State University, USA. “In this timely and innovative collection, the editors have amassed a very fine collection of essays on Samuel Beckett’s interaction with the Italian language and culture. The scholarship included considers a compelling array of media from visual art and sculpture to opera and radio to poetry and translation. In their originality and deftness of research, these essays represent a significant expansion for the field of Beckett studies.” —Trish McTighe, Senior Lecturer in Drama, Queen’s University Belfast, UK.
