Boxall, Peter (University of Oxford), Nicholls, Peter (New York University)
Description
This Element revisits the relation between Giacomo Leopardi and Samuel Beckett. It suggests that Leopardi becomes increasingly important for Beckett, not only because he frames a literary philosophy of scepticism, but because he gives a rich account of the means by which thoroughgoing pessimism might open on to an unenchanted mode of persistence.
