From the Publisher

Three plays representative of an important period in drama!
These three plays by Nobel Prize-winning playwright Gerhart Hauptmann are superb examples of his wide range and offer readers an opportunity to become acquainted with the work of a supremely accomplished writer. THE WEAVERS, perhaps his most famous play, reveals the bitter lives of the wretched handweavers of the 1840s and their abortive rebellion. HANNELE centers on an abused, motherless child, abandoned to a poorhouse, who creates her own fantasy world of dreams and legends. THE BEAVER COAT is a delightful satire about a washerwoman who quickly learns that she cannot advance very far through honest labor alone, and proceeds accordingly.
