Abstract
Although the pretentiousness and vanity of scholarship are routinely mocked in Beckett's writing, Beckett remained orientated and impregnated by an academic habitus long after he seemed to have broken with it, and his writing maintains a fraught relationship with the academy. This essay considers the force of pedagogic and scholarly forms in examples of Beckett's criticism, poems and fiction, and concludes with some reflections on the cycle of dependence and resentment that continues to be acted out in the relations between Beckett and his academic explicators.
