Item description from seller

Paperback. Bertolt Brecht in Context examines Brecht's significance and contributions as a writer and the most influential playwright of the twentieth century. It explores the specific context from which he emerged in imperial Germany during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as Brecht's response to the turbulent German history of the twentieth century: World Wars One and Two, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi dictatorship, the experience of exile, and ultimately the division of Germany into two competing political blocs divided by the postwar Iron Curtain. Throughout this turbulence, and in spite of it, Brecht managed to remain extraordinarily productive, revolutionizing the theater of the twentieth century and developing a new approach to language and performance. Because of his unparalleled radicalism and influence, Brecht remains controversial to this day. This book with a Foreword by Mark Ravenhill lays out in clear and accessible language the shape of Brecht's contribution and the reasons for his ongoing influence. Bertolt Brecht in Context examines Brecht's significance and contributions as a writer and the most influential playwright of the twentieth century, along with his continued impact on theater around the world. It also examines Brecht's contributions to revolutionary thought and to poetry and his response to twentieth-century German history. This item is printed on demand.
