Carnivals of Ruin: Beckett, Ireland, and the Festival Form

This Element examines Beckett's dissidence in the face of the imperatives of nation, home and the canon, utilising Beckett's work in festival contexts to highlight in the negative the nature of the festival form and to critique the festivalisation of culture.
