Inhalt: "The result of twenty-five years of research on three continents, Brecht and Company is a revolutionary portrait of one of the world's greatest theater artists - and the people upon whom he built his reputation. Bertolt Brecht is regarded by many as the most influential figure in twentieth-century theater; the director Peter Brook has argued that "all theater work today at some point starts with or returns to his achievement." In this first full biography of the Brecht circle, John Fuegi confirms Brecht's rank as a world-class theater director, but also shows why much of the writing can no longer be attributed to Brecht alone." "Brecht's first violent, homoerotic plays, though noisily provocative failures at the box office, brought him praise from adventurous critics. In Berlin in the 1920s, Brecht found someone who would change not only his life but world theater: Elisabeth Hauptmann, who wrote over 80 percent of The Threepenny Opera in exchange for time in Brecht's life and in his bed. Yet her name often disappeared from the printed text, as well as from other plays and poems. Disappointed and disaffected, Hauptmann was supplanted by the passionate, tubercular Margarete Steffin, who contributed crucially to such classics as Mother Courage and The Good Woman of Setzuan. With Steffin's death in 1941, Brecht's career as a playwright virtually ended, though other works, begun with her, were finished with the aid of the uninhibited and politically committed Danish director and author Ruth Berlau." "Fuegi traces the evolution of Brecht's parasitic relationships and aggressive ambition through close analysis of diaries, letters, and drafts of the literary works, revealing a man who was personally dazzling, a genius at assembling and

Inhalt: "The story of Brecht's artistic thefts is told against a backdrop of his equivocal politics through the turbulent times: from the 1932 New Year's party with members of Germany's virulent right wing, to his refusal to acknowledge Stalin's murderous purges, to his shocking break before the House Un-American Activities Committee, to his frequent anti-Semitism, to the privilege and ease he enjoyed in a repressive East Germany." "Brecht and Company will irrevocably change our understanding of one of the world's great writer-directors, even as it presents us with three new artists of enduring stature: Elisabeth Hauptmann, Margarete Steffin, and Ruth Berlau."--BOOK JACKET

Inhalt: "Twenty-five years after the demise of the German Democratic Republic, there is perhaps more scholarship being produced on that country than ever. This is true also in literary studies, but especially in English-language literary scholarship there has been a strong imbalance toward a focus on the last three decades of GDR literature. The literature of the earlier GDR has mostly been dismissed or ignored, as the discontinuities between the early and late GDR have been emphasized over the considerable continuities. This book seeks to redress that state of affairs, examining the literature produced from the very beginnings of what became the GDR through the 1950s." --

Inhalt: Die in Alexandria geborene Schriftstellerin (1859-1941) lebte in Weimar und München, wo sie 1896 in den Verein für geistige Interessen der Frau eintrat und bis 1898 im Vorstand mitwirkte. Sie war eine der populärsten Autorinnen ihrer Zeit und galt wegen ihrer feinen Psychologisierung als "Dichterin der weiblichen Seele". Ihr vielgelesener Roman "Aus guter Familie" (1895) schildert die Leidensgeschichte einer höheren Tochter der Wilhelminischen Ära, die am typisch-bürgerlichen Konzept der Frau als "Jungfrau, Gattin und Mutter" scheitert. Darüber hinaus schrieb Gabriele Reuter Bestseller wie die Romane "Der Amerikaner" (1907) oder "Das Tränenhaus" (1908, vgl. 38.1110). Die alleinerziehende Mutter einer Tochter arbeitete u.a. als Rezensentin für die New York Times. Ihr 1927 erschienenes Werk "Töchter" trägt zwar den Untertitel "Roman zweier Generationen", richtet aber den Fokus auf die Älteren. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Werken Reuters findet sich hier keine Kritik an der mütterlichen Umklammerung: "Der Roman richtet sich gegen alle 'neuen Frauen', vor allem in der Person der Tochter Petra, die überdeutlich die Unmoral der 20er Jahre repräsentiert: Sie heiratet, läßt sich scheiden, trifft ihren Ex-Ehemann als Geliebten ihrer Freundin in der gemeinsamen Wohnung, führt eine Beziehung ohne Trauschein und landet erst am Schluß vernünftig im Hafen der Ehe." (Annette Kliewer) // Autor: Peter Czoik // Datum: 2019

Inhalt: Englische Version: The writer born in Alexandria (1859-1941) lived in Weimar and Munich, where she joined the Verein für geistige Interessen der Frau in 1896 and served on the board until 1898. She was one of the most popular female authors of her time and was considered a "poet of the female soul" because of her fine psychologisation. Her widely read novel "Aus guter Familie" (1895) depicts the tale of the suffering of a higher daughter of the Wilhelminian era, who failed in the typical middle-class concept of the woman as a "virgin, wife and mother". Gabriele Reuter also wrote best sellers such as the novels "Der Amerikaner" (The American – 1907) or "Das Tränenhaus" (1908, cf. 38.1110). The single mother of a daughter worked as a reviewer for the New York Times. Gabriele Reuter's "Töchter" work published in 1927 bears the subtitle "A novel of two generations" but focuses on the elderly. In contrast to other works by Reuters, there is no criticism of the maternal embrace here: "The novel is directed against all 'new women', especially in the character of the daughter Petra, who clearly represents the immorality of the 20s: she marries, gets divorced, meets her ex-husband as the lover of her friend in the flat she shares, has a relationship without a marriage certificate and only ends up sensibly married at the end."

Serie: Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture

Inhalt: "The contemporary fascination with the end of the world and of life as we know it would not have surprised our counterparts a millennium ago; only the fact that such an end has not yet occurred. Current visions of the apocalypse encompass climate change, terrorism, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and war. Popular culture expresses the fear associated with these global crises, obsessively portraying zombies, alien attacks, pandemics, and self-destructive technology. This book explores how end-times were envisioned in medieval Germany. The essays, written by well-established scholars, examine the period's fascination with the apocalypse by applying the most current methodological approaches to a wide range of literary genres. Drawing upon methodologies such as adaptation theory, gender analysis, space and place studies, reception studies, and memory studies, this book uncovers the rhetorical, didactic, narratological, mnemonic, thematic, cultural, and political functions of end-times in medieval German texts.

Serie: Fundamentals of medieval and early modern culture ; 5

Inhalt: Despite popular opinions of the 'dark Middle Ages' and a 'gloomy early modern age,' many people laughed, smiled, giggled, chuckled, entertained and ridiculed each other. This volume demonstrates how important laughter had been at times and how diverse the situations proved to be in which people laughed, and this from late antiquity to the eighteenth century. The contributions examine a wide gamut of significant cases of laughter in literary texts, historical documents, and art works where laughter determined the relationship among people. In fact, laughter emerges as a kaleidoscopic phenomenon reflecting divine joy, bitter hatred and contempt, satirical perspectives and parodic intentions. In some examples protagonists laughed out of sheer happiness and delight, in others because they felt anxiety and insecurity. It is much more difficult to detect premodern sculptures of laughing figures, but they also existed. Laughter reflected a variety of concerns, interests, and intentions, and the collective approach in this volume to laughter in the past opens many new windows to the history of mentality, social and religious conditions, gender relationships, and power structures.

Originaltitel: Archiv der Gefühle

Inhalt: "Given a second chance with an old love, a coolly detached archivist questions the life he could have had, and whether it's not too late to live it. A poignant, ingeniously constructed new novel from "one of Europe's most exciting writers" (New York Times Book Review). Forty years ago-almost a lifetime-he confessed his love to a classmate and close friend, Franziska. Now, living in his late mother's house with the obsolete archive of the newspaper he once worked for, he looks back on days spent poring over files and clippings, increasingly withdrawn from the world. His occasional relationships never amounted to anything, and the memory of Franziska-who became pop singer Fabienne-continues to haunt him as she appears in the media. When the two cross paths again, the possibility of a different life feels achingly real. But should he risk the comfort of his ordered existence for a romance that might never match what he imagined? A subtle, mesmerizing portrait of late-blooming passion, The Archive of Feelings showcases Peter Stamm at his best"--

Inhalt: De honderdjarige Duits-Joodse Hans Keilson, in de jaren dertig naar Nederland gevlucht, werd in 2010 door 'The New York Times' als een van de grootste schrijvers ter wereld gekwalificeerd. In korte tijd verschenen zijn boeken in meer dan twintig landen, en opeens was hij een bestsellerauteur. In zijn belangrijkste boeken 'Het leven gaat verder', 'Komedie in mineur' en 'In de ban van de tegenstander' geeft Keilson een beeld van de roerige Weimar-periode, het gevaarlijke leven van een onderduiker en de psyche van Adolf Hitler. Dat zijn ouders de dood vonden in Auschwitz, was zijn levenslange trauma. Deze fascinerende biografie geeft een compleet beeld van Hans Keilson: de beschadigde, hoffelijke, geestige en intelligente echtgenoot en minnaar, psychiater en psychoanalyticus, sportliefhebber en muzikant, schrijver en dichter
