- This monograph forms a substantial scholarly milestone in newly analyzing Beckett’s relationship with music, and contextualizing it within broader intermedial studies. The author invokes a complex web of ideas, integrating Schopenhauer with Deleuze, Bach with Feldman, and ‘classical’ with popular music, in order to elucidate issues of ‘semantic fluidity’ and repetition in literary and musical creativity. For Psychology of Music, the book’s arguments are ‘compelling’, and its analytical framework ‘new and stimulating’, while Music & Letters considers it ‘a study of great erudition [and] admirable facility’, and ‘without doubt an important contribution to the field of Word and Music Studies’.
