First published in 1988, this books argues with received accounts
to reclaim Brecht's emphasis on his self-described 'dialectical
theatre', re-examining firstly the concepts of Gestus and
Verfremdung and their realisation in Brecht's poetry in terms of
his attempt to consciously apply the methods of dialectical
materialism to art and cultural practice. The author also takes
issue with the customary view of Brecht's career and politics which
sees him as compromising either with Communist party dogma or
bourgeois aesthetics, to find developing parallels between Brecht's
political and artistic though and the critical dialectics of Marx,
Lenin and Mao. This development is examined in later chapters in
relation to the early and late plays, The Measures Taken and Days
of the Commune as well as in relation to Brecht's changed
circumstances in the years of war-time exile and in post-war East
Germany.
