- This 576pp. annotated edition publishes for the first time the longest manuscript by Beckett, the over one hundred thousand words of the notes he took on the history of western philosophy, and on St. Augustine, during the 1930s. The edition, which took 5 years to create, contains an extensive Introduction locating this text in Beckett's oeuvre and times, together with full textual apparatus. The 400 footnotes cross-reference this material to Beckett's published creative work across his career, to further unpublished archival sources, and to all previous scholarship around Beckett's philosophical predilections.
