Beckett Writing Beckett: The Author in the Autograph (review)

knowledge and acknowledgment. With its orientation towards the recovery of the everyday and the ordinary (crucial categories for autobiography), Cavell's work is concerned with the otherness of the world, and of experience, and explores ways of resisting both the clamor of knowledge and the dead end of skepticism. Seen as a fuller step beyond knowledge, which encompasses knowledge's limits, acknowledgment, as Haney rightly sees, has a bearing on that self-knowledge to which autobiography, often deludedly, aspires. In Wordsworth's case, Haney argues, self-representation and selfknowledge are subordinated to more urgent, and equally autobiographical questions: "negotiating the construction of various selves and preparing for the future" (259). Autobiographical writing or performance here carves another kind of route towards agency. In common with many of the perspectives opened in this volume, it has an orientation towards the future rather than the past, a feature of autobiography which is by no means new in itself, but which postmodernism has allowed us to see more clearly, in a way that promises well for the future of autobiography itself.
