The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin has become, since the 1950s, well-known for its holdings in twentieth century literature. I offer here a brief description of the holdings in British theatre in the Theatre Arts Collection and the Manuscripts and Archives division of the Ransom Center. My secondary purpose is to suggest: and encourage corollary research in other Ransom Center holdings, such as its Art Collection and Photography and Film Collection. A listing of selected holdings follows this overview below, together with information on fellowships for researchers.

Abstract This essay aims to bring to the fore the varied and broad valences of the ‘mound’ in Beckett’s oeuvre. In my reading, the mound functions as a profuse, multi-purpose symbol, that coalesces into a variety of topoi indicative of Mother Earth, that figure in the thighs, the nipples, the pubis/pubic area and bones, ruins, ants, birth, fetus, and elemental maternal death. I embarked upon the present study before the commencement of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project, a collaborative project between the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp, the Beckett International Foundation, the University of Reading and Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, the University of Texas at Austin. Valorising the author’s editing, additions, notes and comments provided by the upcoming digitalized manuscripts of Beckett in 2014 and 2015, I expect to contribute to the work in progress, and to the corpus of Beckett studies in general, especially those approaching his bilingual works. It is my contention that the frequency of certain terms, the diagrams that Beckett included in some of his letters (as is the case of the mound in Happy Days), shed significant light on the nature of his symbolism.
