    Description: This study identifies the underlying patterns of persistent biblical allusion in the work of renowned playwright Bertolt Brecht. Rather than reducing Brecht's use of the Bible to the purely satirical, the author interprets the full dramatic function of Brecht's complex use of scripture. Using examples from plays written throughout the span of Brecht's career, Murphy shows how Brecht invokes the stories of Old Testament figures such as Job and Isaiah as well as the crucifixion accounts of the New Testament in order to build sympathetic characters and explore his more political themes.

    Description: An exploration of the poetic function of Greek archetypes in Schiller's "Wallenstein", this study claims Homer's "Iliad" and Euripides's "Iphigenia in Aulis", the first epic and the last tragic poem about the Trojan War in the Greek tradition, as archetypal sources for Schiller's modern historical drama about the Thirty Years War. In close comparison with Voss's translation of the "Iliad" and Schiller's own translation of "Iphigenia in Aulis", Berns shows how "Wallenstein" compounds echoes of Homeric and Euripidean characters and plots to create a rich horizon of mythical overtones above and beyond the historical world.

    Description: These essays represent the push to provide interdisciplinary Brecht research to English-speaking audiences following his death in 1956 and offer novel readings of his works indicative of the major literary questions of the time. The essays explore both Brecht's theoretical approach and political thought, with many also taking a comparative approach to analysis of individual plays. The contributors are Reinhold Grimm, Karl-Heinz Schoeps, Herbert Knust, Hans Meyer, Siegfried Mews, Raymond English, James Lyon, Darko Suvin, Gisela Bahr, Grace Allen, Ralph Ley, John Fuegi, Andrzej Wirth and David Bathrick.

    Description: This study presents the historical development of topical drama in the German Democratic Republic from 1945 to 1975. The author investigates the sociopolitical function of both dramas and dramatists such as Karl Grünberg, Friedrich Wolf, and Erwin Strittmatter during the various transitional stages of the GDR's growth toward a socialist society. The substantive, critical study of plays, authors, productions, and dramatic theory is supplemented by a critical analysis of the Socialist Unity Party's cultural and literary policies during the GDR's turbulent history. While Western critics tend to isolate individual GDR dramas and interpret them out of context, Huettich explores in depth how the cultural policy of the GDR significantly helped shape the course of post-World War II drama in the 'planned society.'

    Description: An imperishable gem of German literature, Kleist's "The Broken Pitcher" is pure comedy. The author's handling of the theme—the judge as culprit—shows supreme mastery. This translation by Bayard Q. Morgan, originally published in 1961, is faithful in form.

    Description: De la guillotine on ne retient jamais que l’effet de rupture, l’effondrement d’un monde auquel la Terreur met un terme, définitivement. C’est oublier que la guillotine s’inscrit dans la mémoire, qu’elle découpe alors un nouvel espace de représentation auquel la peinture, la photographie, le cinématographe, musées de cires et salons de coiffure, se trouvent assujettis... Visages plus purs exaltés par la lunette, visions fugitives - « Un éclair... puis la nuit ! »- qui obéissent à la logique de l’instantané : le fil de la guillotine commande l’exposition romanesque du visage. L’échafaud fonde une scène nouvelle, suscite une constellation d’images et de textes. Singulière machine, -appareil funèbre, -vrai objet de désir. La littérature romanesque du xixe siècle se renouvelle, s’édifie, s’échafaude à partir de la guillotine, avec vue sur la Grève.

    Description: Ellis's book confronts directly the most central issue of Kleist criticism: the essential nature and meaning of his work. Rather than provide a general survey of Kleist's writings, Ellis performs an analysis of six of his most mature works: "Der Findling", "Die Marquise von O. . .", "Das Erdbeben in Chili", "Der Zweitkampf", "Michael Kohlhaas", and "Prinz Friedrich von Homburg". Ellis draws some general conclusions about the uniquely Kleistian character of these six works which are at sharp variance with previous Kleist criticism.

    Description: Que serait-ce qu’une langue-sœur ? Simple variante d’une langue d’emblée trop maternelle ou débris désordonnés d’une langue du père d’avance perdue ? Lorsqu’on a, comme Rimbaud, deux sœurs, on est bilingue par force : de l’une à l’autre, quelque chose reste, d’intraduisible à jamais.C’est par les consonnes que Rimbaud se trahit, consœurs en nombre de voyelles surexposées ou petites sœurs au sexe tôt dévoyé, qui cependant insistent en-deça des mots à la fin d’étouffer en eux l’incessant murmure d’un inceste sororal. Arthur Rimbaud n’écrira plus après la mort de Vitalie, s’en ira très loin, même ; puis, reviendra mourir auprès d’Isabelle : comme par écho, l’œuvre se renverse dans le miroir des deux sœurs.Tout texte a ses sirènes : voix qui nous leurrent et dont la faiblesse tient à ce pouvoir extrême qu’elles ont de ne se confiner jamais au seul espace que couvre la page, mais de migrer au moyen de tous les mots quotidiennement mis, à toute heure de tout jour, dans toutes les langues en usage, à la disposition de l’humain.

    Description: Le premier des quatre volumes de l’Œdipe roi de Sophocle, paru en 1990, et à présent réédité, comporte une longue introduction méthodique sur les conditions intellectuelles du déchiffrement et sur les données matérielles de la reconstitution (et de la constitution) du texte. Cet essai vaut, au-delà de la pièce, pour l’histoire de la transmission en général. On y trouve une description des différentes classes de manuscrits, avec une étude des habitudes de lecture et des courants d’érudition de Byzance jusqu’aux écoles modernes. Suivent le texte grec avec apparat, et la traduction. Le livre se clôt sur une analyse qui restitue les mètres des chants de chœur et sur un index relatif à l’introduction. Les trois autres volumes contiennent la paraphrase argumentée (l’argument) des unités scéniques, ouvrant une discussion du détail. L’ambition dépasse celle d’un simple commentaire. La présentation prend souvent la forme de dossiers sur des questions de linguistique, de mythologie ou d’histoire des religions. Elle inclut et situe la diversité des constructions possibles, et légitime équitablement le choix de l’éditeur. Elle retrace en effet les conditions dans lesquelles s’est faite la lecture au cours des siècles selon les nations (et les traditions culturelles, politiques et religieuses). L’analyse remonte partiellement jusqu’à la Renaissance, mais répertorie plus systématiquement les opinions soutenues depuis le tournant décisif du xviiie siècle, montant toute une histoire de la philologie. À la fin du dernier volume un index multiple inclut les orientations idéologiques de la critique et les faits de langue et de style.
