Description: This fourth and final volume which completes the Cambridge edition of The Letters of Samuel Beckett covers the final twenty - four years of what was as Beckett saw it a surprisingly long life. 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.
