Women And Ireland As Becketts Lost Others Beyond Mourning And Melancholia

Rina Kim

About this book

This study investigates the relationship between emotion, memory, exile and the poetics of grieving in Beckett's works. Using a psychoanalytic framework, this monograph traces discourses of mourning, melancholia and abjection in Beckett's texts, and demonstrates how Ireland and women are often the objects of loss.
