    Content: "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
    Content: "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

    Content: "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." --

    Content: 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
    Content: 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."

    Content: "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.

Polhill, Alexander Sager, Alexandra Sterling-Hellenbrand, Joseph M. Sullivan. Ernst Ralf Hintz is Professor of German and Medieval Studies at Truman State University. Scott E.

    Content: Although many researchers have taken a critical stance towards the theses on the history of childhood developed by Philippe Ariès in 1960, this volume is the first comprehensive collection of studies with a psychological and emotional historical orientation to demonstrate convincingly the extent to which the relationship between parents and children was a fundamental element of European society in pre-modern times.
    Content: Obwohl viele Forscher bisher kritisch auf die 1960 von Philippe Ariès entwickelten Thesen zur Geschichte der Kindheit eingegangen sind, bietet erst dieser Band eine umfassende, interdisziplinär angelegte, sowohl mentalitäts- als auch emotionsgeschichtlich orientierte Sammlung von Studien, die überzeugend nachweisen, wie sehr auch in der Vormoderne die Beziehung zwischen Eltern und Kindern ein fundamentales Element der europäischen Gesellschaft gewesen ist.

    Content: Among the most creative and outsized personalities of the Weimar Republic, that sizzling yet decadent epoch between the Great War and the Nazis' rise to power, were the renegade poet Bertolt Brecht and the rebellious avant-garde composer Kurt Weill. These two young geniuses and the three women vital to their workactresses Lotte Lenya and Helene Weigel and writer Elizabeth Hauptmannjoined talents to create the theatrical and musical masterworksThe Threepenny OperaandThe Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, only to split in rancor as their culture cracked open and their aesthetic and temperamental differences became irreconcilable.The Partnershipis the first book to tell the full story of Brecht and Weill's impulsive, combustible partnership, the compelling psychological drama of one of the most important creative collaborations of the past century. It is also the first book to give full credit where it is richly due to the three women whose creative gifts contributed enormously to their masterworks. And it tells the thrilling and iconic story of artistic daring entwined with sexual freedom during the Weimar Republic's most fevered years, a time when art and politics and society were inextricably mixed. - PAMELA KATZ is a screenwriter and novelist whose most notable works are films made in collaboration with legendary director Margarethe von Trotta, including Rosenstrasse; The Other Woman; and most recently Hannah Arendt, which received international acclaim, and was selected as one of the New York Times’ Top Ten Films of 2013. Katz teaches screenwriting at NYU's Tisch Graduate Film Program and lives with her family in New York City and Berlin.

    Content: The biography of H.G. Adler (1910-88) is the story of a survivor of Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, and two other concentration camps who not only lived through the greatest cataclysm of the 20th century, but someone who also devoted his literary and scholarly career to telling the story of those who perished in over two dozen books of fiction, poetry, history, sociology, and religion. And yet for much of his life he remained almost entirely unknown. A writer's writer, a scholar of seminal, pioneering works on the Holocaust, a renowned radio essayist in postwar Germany, a last representative of the Prague Circle of literature headed by Kafka, a key contributor to the prosecution in the trial of Adolf Eichmann, Adler was a man of his time whose times lived through him. His is the story of many others, but also one that is singularly his own. And at its heart lies a profound story of love and perseverance amid the loss of his first wife, Gertrud Klepetar, who accompanied her mother to the gas chamber in Auschwitz, and the courtship and extended correspondence with Bettina Gross, a Prague artist who escaped to the Britain, only to later learn that her mother had also been in Theresienstadt with Adler before her eventual death in Auschwitz.
