Playing for Stakes: German Language Drama in a Social Context - Hardcover
This volume examines a range of German and Austrian dramas dating from the late 19th century to the present. By focusing on the historical context and social movements as keys to the understanding of these plays, the authors are able to present new readings that explain these texts more fully than do traditional, purely literary readings.
