Beckett's Eighteenth Century
ISBN: 9781349425228 / Angielski / Miękka / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beckett's Eighteenth Century is the first book-length study of Samuel Beckett's affinity with the British eighteenth century and of the influence of its writers on his work.
