- from 1930 until his death in 1989 - wrote much poetry and this volume
contains everything that was authorised for publication in his lifetime. From the early "Whorescope", written overnight to win the Nancy Cunard
Prize in 1930 - to his late work, written largely in French (much of which was translated by the author himself), there is an enormous emotional and technical range. Many of these poems are philosophical, some are love poems; all of them give evidence of the same concern for suffering humanity and the cruelty of existence which is the hallmark of his fictions and dramas. This volume includes translations of four French poets: Eluard,
Rimbaud, Apollinaire and Chamfort - the finest translations of their work in existence. Considered by many to be the most important literary figure of the twentieth century, Beckett was a poet in everything he wrote. Increasingly compared to Shakespeare, it is clear that his poetry itself ranks among the major work of the last century. | | Contents note: | Poems in English; Poems in French; Translations from French with originals; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=16871 |
