1. Introduction: David Addyman, Matthew Feldman and Erik Tonning -- 2. Matthew Feldman, "Beckett's 'non-canonical' radio productions, 1957-1989" -- 3. Erik Tonning, "Mediating Modernism: The Third Programme, Samuel Beckett, and Mass Communication" -- 4. Dirk van Hulle, "The BBC and Beckett's Non-Radiogenic Plays in the 1950s" -- 5. Pim Verhulst, "The BBC as 'Commissioner' of Beckett's Radio Plays" -- 6. Catherine Laws, "Imagining Radio Sound: Interference and Collaboration in the BBC Radio Production of Beckett's All That Fall" -- 7. Stefano Rosignoli, "Author, Work and Trade: The Sociology of Samuel Beckett's Texts in the Years of the Broadcasts for BBC Radio (1957-89) Copyright and Moral Rights" -- 8. John Pilling, "Changing My Tune: Beckett and the BBC Third Programme (1957-1960)" -- 9. Elsa Baroghel, "'my God to have to murmur that': Comment C'est/How It Is and the issue of performance" -- 10. Paul Stewart, "Fitting the Prose to Radio: The Case of 'Lessness'" -- 11. Melissa Chia, "'My comforts! Be friends!': Words, Music and Beckett's Poetry on the Third" -- 12. Steven Matthews, "Meditations and Monologues: Beckett's mid-late prose on the radio" -- 13. Natalie Leeder, "'None but the simplest words': Beckett's listeners".

This book is the first sustained examination of Samuel Beckett's pivotal engagements with post-war BBC radio. The BBC acted as a key interpreter and promoter of Beckett's work during this crucial period of his "getting known" in the Anglophone world in the 1950s and 1960s, especially through the culturally ambitious Third Programme, but also by the intermediary of the house magazine, The Listener. The BBC ensured a sizeable but also informed reception for Beckett's radio plays and various "adaptations" (including his stage plays, prose, and even poetry); the audience that Beckett's works reached by radio almost certainly exceeded in size his readership or theatre audiences at the time. In rethinking several key aspects of his relationship with the BBC, a mix of new and familiar Beckett critics take as their starting point the previously neglected BBC radio archives held at the Written Archive Centre in Caversham, Berkshire. The results of this extended reassessment are timely and, in many cases, quite surprising--for readers of Beckett and for scholars of radio, "late modernism," and post-war British culture more broadly.
