Lenz and Buchner: Studies in Dramatic Form: 5 (Historisch-Kritische Arbeiten Zur Deutschen Literatur,) - Softcover
This study challenges Volker Klotz's widely accepted notion that the plays of Lenz and Buechner are seminal or exemplary open form dramas. This involves an account of the theory of the open and closed form, its origins in art-historical writings and German Geistesgeschichte, its implications and place in recent criticism of drama. This leads to close studies of (a) the major plays of J.M.R Lenz (Der Hofmeister, Die Soldaten) the emphasis being on the dramatic structure, suggesting a rarely appreciated development in dramatic technique; and (b) Georg Buechner's Dantons Tod (complexity of dramatic structure, presence of dramatic conflict, absence of open ending) and Woyzeck, where particular attention is devoted to the order of scenes and unsolved editorial problems, reference being made to the newly published facsimile edition of the manuscripts.

Review:
-This volume is a solid piece of scholarship with extensive footnotes and a good bibliography which helps us understand the limitations of an influential dramatic theory.- (James C. Davidheiser, The Lessing Society)

This involves an account of the theory of the open and closed form, its origins in art-historical writings and German «Geistesgeschichte», its implications and place in recent criticism of drama. This leads to close studies of (a) the major plays of J.M.R Lenz (Der Hofmeister, Die Soldaten) the emphasis being on the dramatic structure, suggesting a rarely appreciated development in dramatic technique; and (b) Georg Büchner's Dantons Tod (complexity of dramatic structure, presence of dramatic conflict, absence of open ending) and Woyzeck, where particular attention is devoted to the order of scenes and unsolved editorial problems, reference being made to the facsimile edition of the manuscripts. 201 Seiten, broschiert (Historisch-kritische Arbeiten zur deutschen Literatur; Vol. 5/Peter Lang Verlag 1984) Mängelexemplar.
