Newest volume of the central scholarly forum for discussion of
Brecht and aspects of theater and literature of particular interest
to him, especially the politics of literature and theater in a
global context. Now published for the International Brecht Society
by Camden House under the Society's editorship, the Brecht Yearbook
is the central scholarly forum for discussion of the life and work
of Bertolt Brecht and of aspects of theater and literature that
were of particular interest to him, especially the politics of
literature and theater in a global context. The Yearbook welcomes a
wide variety of perspectives and approaches, and, like Brecht
himself, it is committed to the use value of literature, theater,
and theory. Volume 40 features new research on Brechtian concepts
of temporality (Matthias Rothe) and the apparatus (Thomas Pekar),
as well as articles on the "Bilder aus der Kriegsfibel" (Arnold
Pistiak), the poem "Die Nachtlager" (Klaus-Dieter Krabiel), Brecht
and Peruvian theater (Carlos Vargas-Salgado), early Brecht
productions in Australia (Laura Ginters), and Brecht and Karl Kraus
(Jost Hermand). Biographically oriented pieces focus on Brecht and
the Chinese author Feng Zhi (Lin Cheng) and an unpublished letter
to Brecht from 1918 (Jurgen Hillesheim). Special contents include a
portfolio of drawings by DieterGoltzsche, with a brief introduction
by the artist, a tribute to Sara Joffre, a brief set of texts
related to the exchanges between Hanns Eisler and Hans Bunge,
introduced by Sabine Berendse, and an open letter to Brecht from
Hans-Thies Lehmann and Helene Varopoulou. Theodore F. Rippey is
Associate Professor of German at Bowling Green State University.
Described in Germany as the 'most thought-provoking' book of the
bicentennial year, Georg Knepler's acclaimed study of Mozart is now
available in paperback. The book explores Mozart's life and works
from many new perspectives, providing fresh insights into his music
and the tempestuous times through which he lived. Based on a close
reading of the family correspondence and a careful consideration of
Mozart's entire musical output, the book sheds new light on the
composer's creative psyche, his political leanings, his relation to
the thoughts and currents of the Enlightenment, and the underlying
basis of his musical expression.
