This Element revisits the relation between Giacomo Leopardi and Samuel Beckett. It suggests that Leopardi becomes increasingly important for Beckett, not only because he frames a literary philosophy of scepticism, but because he gives a rich account of the means by which thoroughgoing pessimism might open on to an unenchanted mode of persistence.
