The Brecht Yearbook / Das Brecht-Jahrbuch, Volume 39: The Creative Spectator

Description

This volume includes a special section of five articles focused on Bertolt Brecht and Georg Büchner, revolutionary playwright of an earlier era. Also featured are articles and keynote addresses from the International Brecht Society symposium held in Brazil in 2013, under the theme “The Creative Spectator.” New research on Brecht and Puccini, Brecht and tragedy, and George Tabori’s play Nathans Tod rounds out the volume, along with reviews of recent books and a tribute to scholar Jost Hermand.
