Beckett and Eros: Death of Humanism

by Paul Davies

Beckett and Eros: Death of Humanism explores Beckett's tragic projection in which spiritual, political, and gender experience are combined, exposing the erroneous operations of Cartesian awareness which become sexualized in the dramatic gender conflict in myth and literature. Beckett and Eros is the first book in 25 years to give an answer to the question, "Do we mean love when we say love? ... soul when we say soul?"; Davies' approach offers a startling point for valuable dialogue between radical new age thought and the postmodernism of academe.
