The leading publication on Brecht, his work, and topics of interest
to him; this annual volume documents the International Brecht
Society's 2016 symposium, "Recycling Brecht." Published for the
International Brecht Society by Camden House, the Brecht Yearbook
is the central scholarly forum for discussion of Brecht's life and
work and of topics of particular interest to him, especially the
politics of literature and of theater in a global context. It
includes a wide variety of perspectives and approaches, and, like
Brecht himself, is committed to the concept of the use value of
literature, theater, and theory. Volume42 features a selection of
the papers given and protocols of the events held at the
International Brecht Society's "Recycling Brecht" symposium at St.
Hugh's College, Oxford, in June 2016. The theme of recycling is
understood bothas a description of Brecht's own creative practice
and as an activity applied to his works by others. The volume
includes keynote papers by Hans-Thies Lehmann and Amal Allana on
Brecht's reception of Antigone and on the reception and recycling
of Brecht in India, respectively. Other papers are on a wide range
of topics, from Brecht's own "recycling" of Shakespeare and others,
through the reception of his own works in a range of contexts and
by later writers, to contemporary works that may be understood as
post-Brechtian. The final section, introduced by an extended
interview with American playwright Tony Kushner, documents
additional creative responses to the theme. Volume co-editors Tom
Kuhn and David Barnett are, respectively, Professor of
Twentieth-Century German Literature at the University of Oxford and
Professor of Theatre at the University of York. Managing Editor
Theodore F. Rippey is Associate Professor of German at Bowling
Green State University.
