Samuel Beckett's 1976 Television play Ghost Trio is one of his most beautiful and mysterious works. It demonstrates Beckett's exploration of the relationship between theatricality, absorption and objecthood, and shows how his work anticipates the development of video and installation art.

Moving fluently between art history, philosophy, literary analysis and historical context, Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts rethinks the trajectory of Beckett's career, and reorients his relationship to modernism, late modernism and the avant-gardes. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the most important writer of the twentieth century.
