Abstract
As En attendant Godot, the text was first published in 1952 (Paris: Les Editions de Minuit). Its first publication in English was in 1954 (New York: Grove Press). The first English edition was published in 1956: it has many minor variations from the American text and some bowdlerising, to meet the demands made by the Lord Chamberlain when the text was first staged in London.
