Rehearsal of Revolution: Georg Buchner's Politics and His Drama "Dantons Tod" (Publications Universitaires Europeennes. Serie XXXI, Science) - Softcover
Georg Buchner was one of the most radical revolutionaries of his time, but his drama "Dantons Tod" is often interpreted as an expression of political disillusionment because of its focus on the corruption and collapse of the French Revolution. This study shows that the failure of the French Revolution was a central theme of ideological controversy amongst the increasingly communist-orientated French republicans of the early 1830s. In the context of Buchner's close relationship with this movement, "Dantons Tod" is seen as a distinctive contribution to the doctrinal and operational debate on the extreme left. This book demonstrates how Buchner's dramatization of history served to develop and clarify his own revolutionary perspectives, not to put them in doubt."
