This 1972 text provides the student of German literature and
European drama with a general introduction to Grillparzer's work.
Dr Yates begins with a substantial biographical introduction which
is one of the most detailed of its kind in any language. He then
turns to the writings and introduces them linked by theme,
identifying as Grillparzer's finest achievements the series of four
dramas completed between 1823 and 1832. He also indicates the
virtues characteristic of Grillparzer's work in general: the
subtlety of his characterisation, his concern with moral values,
the consistent ideals underlying his view of history and the human
condition, and the essential theatricality of his drama. Dr Yates
quotes freely; quotations from Grillparzer's prose are given in
translation, those from the plays and poems are in the original
with an English translation at the foot of the page. The aim
throughout is to show the reader what is characteristic in the
plays.
