Funded Activity Summary

Samuel Beckett and the French Literary Tradition: Bilingualism as Method. Moving between French and English, Samuel Beckett's bilingual writing practice offers a unique record of how the artistic imagination engages with the experience of migration. To date, studies of Beckett concentrate on his involvement with the Anglophone expatriate communities and the French literary coteries of post-war Paris. They neglect, however, the impact of Beckett's grounding in the French literary tradition from the sixteenth century onwards. By filling this gap, this project aims to quantify how French and English cultural heritages are processed differently in the French and English versions of his works. The project will illuminate how national literatures are reshaped through cultural translation.
