Book excerpt: This historical and critical survey of German drama in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries provides an introduction to major authors and works from Lessing, through Goethe, Schiller and Weimar Classicism, to Kleist, Grillparzer and Hebbel. F.J. Lamport traces the rise and development in the German-speaking world of the last form of "classical" poetic drama to appear in European literature. This development is seen as reflecting the intellectual and political ferment both within Germany and throughout Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origin of German Tragic Drama is Walter Benjamin's most sustained and original work. It begins with a general theoretical introduction on the nature of the baroque art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, concentrating on the peculiar stage-form of royal martyr dramas called Trauerspiel. Benjamin also comments on the engravings of Durer and the theatre of Calderon and Shakespeare. Baroque tragedy, he argues, was distinguished from classical tragedy by its shift from myth into history. Georg Lukacs, an opponent of Benjamin's aesthetics, singled out The Origin of German Tragic Drama as one of the main sources of literary modernism in the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Drama of the Nineteenth Century AT the beginning of the nineteenth century middle class drama on the German stage far surpassed all other varieties in numbers and popularity. Lessing had laid the foundation for it and made it free from French in fluence. Miss Sara Sampson Minna von Barn kelm (1767) and Emilia Galotti (1772) were the earl iest prototypes of a realistic art which took its sub jects from contemporaneous life and substituted deep feeling in unadorned prose for the unnatural sentiment of the Alexandrine tragedy. In his Hamburgische Dramaturgic (1768 - 69) Lessing showed that the French were wrong in asserting the conformity of their rules with the laws of Aristotle, and pointed to Shakespeare as the greatest tragic poet of modern times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second World War went beyond previous military conflicts. It was not only about specific geographical gains or economic goals, but also about the brutal and lasting reshaping of Europe as a whole. Theatre in Europe Under German Occupation explores the part that theatre played in the Nazi war effort. Using a case-study approach, it illustrates the crucial and heavily subsidised role of theatre as a cultural extension of the military machine, key to Nazi Germany’s total war doctrine. Covering theatres in Oslo, Riga, Lille, Lodz, Krakau, Warsaw, Prague, The Hague and Kiev, Anselm Heinrich looks at the history and context of their operation; the wider political, cultural and propagandistic implications in view of their function in wartime; and their legacies. Theatre in Europe Under German Occupation focuses for the first time on Nazi Germany’s attempts to control and shape the cultural sector in occupied territories, shedding new light on the importance of theatre for the regime’s military and political goals.
