Description

Explore the deep connection between music and twentieth-century Irish literature in this Routledge publication. While authors like Joyce utilized folk tunes and opera, Samuel Beckett integrated musical ideas into his writing more deeply than any other writer. This book examines how musical quotations inhabit his texts and how structural devices like the da capo are used metaphorically. Learn about the significant influence of music on the written word in Ireland, from the thought-tormented music in Joyce's The Dead to the four-part threnody found in Beckett's Watt. The text looks at how Beckett uses these elements to address the erosion of explicit meaning through musical concepts.
