Accolade for Emilie Morin's Beckett book

Posted on 4 May 2018

Emilie Morin's latest book 'Beckett's Political Imagination' is one of 12 books selected for Cambridge University Press’s 2018 Academic Book Week.

The theme was Academic Books by Women that Changed the World.

'It is a book of fundamental importance to the understanding of Beckett’s life, work, imagination and political sympathies. It revises our understanding of this iconic writer, and opens up a new appreciation of the relationship between literature and politics in Europe in the first half of the 20^th century. It is an outstanding work of critical research and authoritative analysis from a young female scholar.' (Ray Ryan, Cambridge University Press, New York).
