Product Description
Three plays representative of an important period in twentieth-century drama! A good part of modern drama owes its techniques and itsintense awareness of social and psychological problems to the Germanplaywright who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1912.Hauptmann's achievements had great influence on many outstanding writers,among them Eugene O'Neill, who felt a special indebtedness to the Europeanmaster. These three plays are superb examples of Hauptmann's wide rangeand offer readers an opportunity to become acquainted with the work of asupremely accomplished writer. The Weavers, perhaps his most famous play,reveals the bitter lives of the wretched handweavers of the 1840s and theirabortive rebellion. Hennele centers on an abused, motherless child, abandonedto a poorhouse, who creates her own fantasy world of dreams and legends. TheBeaver Coat is a delightful satire about a washerwoman who quickly learnsthat she cannot advance very far through honest labor alone, and proceedsaccordingly. ... Read more

Product Description
"Bei Hauptmann wie bei Ibsen, bei Shakespeare und ebenfalls bei Goethe sahen wir, wie der Dichter in seinen Schöpfungen uns eine reichliche Fülle abnormer Charaktere in dem mannigfaltigsten Sinne dieses Begriffes darbietet." Der deutsche Psychiater Wilhelm Weygandt (1870 bis 1939) verbindet in dem hier vorliegenden Buch seine unfangreichen psychiatrischen Erfahrungen, die er als Direktor der ehemaligen Staatskrankenanstalt Hamburg-Friedrichsberg sammeln konnte, mit den großen Werken der Literatur. Seine Arbeiten zählen zu den bedeutendsten Zeugnissen der Psychiatriegeschichte vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus. ... Read more
