As part of Beckett Week 2018, this two-day event invites academics, practitioners and postgraduates to engage in discussions surrounding Samuel Beckett’s involvement in early Modernist periodicals and his creative relationships in theatre. The conference, supported by the Samuel Beckett Research Centre at the University of Reading, will use the Beckett archive at the university to explore the diverse literary and performance networks that continue to spread across disciplines and genres.
Award-winning novelist and inaugural Beckett Fellow, Eimear McBride, has made a radio programme with RTE Dublin about the Samuel Beckett archive at the University of Reading. The programme includes contributions by James Knowlson, Beckett's authorised biographer, and by colleagues at the University. In the broadcast, Eimear discusses also the significance of Beckett's work for her as a woman writer, and gives evocative insight into Beckett's late prose work, Stirrings Still.
Eimear was appointed as the Beckett Centre's Inaugural Creative Fellow in September 2017. Her remit was to make visits to the Samuel Beckett archives held at the University and make new creative work from her engagement with the materials she found there. This new work will be launched at a public event this Autumn, where the author will discuss her responses to Samuel Beckett. Details of these events and the new work will follow. During her fellowship, Eimear has produced a series of reflections about her evolving relationship to Beckett’s work through the archive.
