Bertolt Brecht in Context examines Brecht's significance and
contributions as a writer and the most influential playwright of
the twentieth century. It explores the specific context from which
he emerged in imperial Germany during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, as well as Brecht's response to the turbulent
German history of the twentieth century: World Wars One and Two,
the Weimar Republic, the Nazi dictatorship, the experience of
exile, and ultimately the division of Germany into two competing
political blocs divided by the postwar Iron Curtain. Throughout
this turbulence, and in spite of it, Brecht managed to remain
extraordinarily productive, revolutionizing the theater of the
twentieth century and developing a new approach to language and
performance. Because of his unparalleled radicalism and influence,
Brecht remains controversial to this day. This book - with a
Foreword by Mark Ravenhill - lays out in clear and accessible
language the shape of Brecht's contribution and the reasons for his
ongoing influence.
