Abstract
Many studies of Beckett’s work put language at the centre of
their enquiry, but few have looked at language in relation to the disciplines of neuroscience or psychology, despite Beckett’s persistent and well-attested interest in both fields. Beckett was preoccupied by various clinical perspectives on language and thought at key moments in his life, but the significance of abnormal linguistic usage in Beckett’s prose and his theatre has been approached from this angle only sporadically. This double issue of the Journal of Beckett Studies on ‘Beckett, Language and the
Mind’ offers a more sustained consideration of the uses of both neuroscience and psychology to Beckett studies, at a time when the discipline of literary studies is particularly alert to what these approaches can offer.
