Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett – Des écrivains en proie à la faille du langage
Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett – Writers faced with the failings of language

Summary/Abstract: Virginia Woolf, an Englishwoman born in 1882, and Samuel Beckett, an Irishman born in 1906, have one thing in common: language, or more precisely, the discomfort they experience when confronting language. This article looks at the approaches taken by the authors to create a verbal work that rises, paradoxically, from the rift the word - that constitutes it. The poetic orientation of the word is the first of these approaches, followed by its pictorial and musical orientations.
