Items related to Eleutheria
The abandoned manuscript of Samuel Beckett's first play, Eleutheria has finally found its way into print after a highly dramatic legal and literary battle. It is clear that Eleutheria merits both publication and production, but it must be placed into perspective. Waiting for Godot is revolutionary; Eleutheria is evolutionary. The play, a valuable addition to Beckett's body of work, will be of interest to anyone concerned with the author's art and with exploratory theater.

His made his poetry debut in 1930 with Whoroscope and followed it with essays and two novels before World War Two.
