This book studies the representation of the body in Beckett’s work, focusing on the ‘prosthetic’ aspect of the organs and senses. While making use of the theoretical potential of the concept of ‘prosthesis’, it aims to resituate Beckett in the broad cultural context of modernism in which the impact of new media and technologies was registered.
