      abstract = {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.},
