This thesis aims to clarify the fact that the full impact of Samuel Beckett's texts can be appreciated only when their intertextual qualities receive the attention they deserve. Beckett's allusions to Christian, literary and philosophical classics, especially the Bible in Waiting for Godot and Dante and Descartes in Endgame, serve not merely to enhance his writing but also to carry on the Post-modern project of a critical revision of the Western literary tradition. The ultimate effect distilled in this intertextuality is to retrieve the vibrancy of the tradition, which seems to come to an end of literary exhaustion, by facing up to the broken, fragmented form. The abdication of authorial power and the appeal to the creative intervention ensuing this intertextual process mark Beckett out as a forerunner of this Post-modern condition.
