520 |a This article explores the global influences of Chinese mysticism latent in Chinese K’in music and Christian mysticism on Beckett’s composition of Dream of Fair to Middling Women. I argue that Beckett’s portrayal of Belacqua as a mystic purist is the direct result of his creative appropriation of K’in music, Taoism, and Christian mysticism on the one hand, and his equally creative appropriation of the modernist legacy of inner fiction exemplified by the fiction of Proust and Joyce on the other. By revealing the hybrid roots of Belacqua’s mystic quest, this essay presents a compelling case that unfolds not only Beckett’s interesting relation to China, but modernism’s ethical and aesthetic inclusion in a global context.
