About this title

Synopsis

This study delineates the fundamental principles of Heiner M�ller's revolutionary poetic project and, in detailed analyses of three recent plays, shows how these strategies are realized in specific discursive structures of his texts. Heiner M�ller, arguably the most important German playwright since Brecht, is seen to undermine both bourgeois and orthodox socialist models of drama, history, and revolution, and to create a new dramatic discourse of anonymous voices hitherto excluded from aesthetic production.

Review

�Die Stanford-Diss. kann als wichtigste Buchver�ff. �ber M. neben und seit Genia Schulz' �berblick (1980) gelten.� (Wolfgang Emmerich, Germanistik)
�Her study is strongest in its ability to demonstrate, via a careful, close textual reading of these plays, how M�ller explores the limitations of Enlightenment practice and discourse and what he believes a Third World alternative is comprised. Her analyses are particularly attentive to the plays' structures, showing how meaning emerges from a dramatic form.� (Sara Lennox, German Quarterly)
