Know about the book -

Myth and Ritual in the Plays of Samuel Beckett is written by Katherine H. Burkman and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0838632998 (ISBN 10) and 9780838632994 (ISBN 13).

All of the essays in this collection reflect a sense that Beckett's power as a playwright derives largely from a mythic vision that informs his drama. Their approaches to the definition and use of myth and ritual in his plays vary considerably, however, ranging from the Jungian to the Marxian to the Lacanian, and drawing on the theories of Campbell, Freud, Eliade, Frye, Turner, Girard, Baudrillard, and others.
