During these years he produced many of his finest and most concentrated works for theatre, plays that included Not I, Ohio Impromptu, and Catastrophe; for television he wrote Eh Joe and Ghost Trio; while in prose, he produced the late 'trilogy' that comprises Company, Ill Seen Ill Said, and Worstward Ho. In 1969, Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the letters from this period show him struggling to cope with the pressures created by his ever-growing international fame. The letters reveal how, later, he turned his mind to his legacy, as seen through his interactions with biographers and archivists. This volume also provides chronologies, explanatory notes, translations, and profiles of Beckett's chief correspondents.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e General introduction\u003cbr\u003e French translator's preface George Craig\u003cbr\u003e Editorial procedures\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Permissions\u003cbr\u003e Collections and abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Volume 4 Dan Gunn\u003cbr\u003e Letters, 1966–1989\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: selection of letters from Samuel Beckett found after the appropriate volume of correspondence was published\u003cbr\u003e Profiles\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography of works cited\u003cbr\u003e Index of recipients\u003cbr\u003e Index of first names, abbreviations, and nicknames\u003cbr\u003e Summary listing of Samuel Beckett's works, Volume 4\u003cbr\u003e General index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: from c 1900 - [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: from c 1900 -\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20from%20c%201900%20-%20%5BDSBH%5D%22\"\u003eDSBH\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46000269492504,"sku":"9780521867962","price":36.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521867962i_f0215e16-0659-4b46-85f5-9b7a53b488e9.jpg?v=1691358633","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-letters-of-samuel-beckett-volume-4-1966-1989-hardback-9780521867962","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
