AB This B. A. Thesis analyses the historical and autobiographical context of Samuel Beckett’s first published novel: Murphy (1938). A direct relationship is established between London’s Bethlem Royal Hospital and the mental health issues Beckett was experiencing at the time he wrote Murphy, and the mental hospital portrayed in the novel and the characters that people it. Beckett’s own testmonies and those of his acquaintances will be used in conjunction with different biographical and historical sources.
