The leading scholarly publication on Brecht; volume 43 contains a
wealth of articles on diverse topics and a reconstruction of the
two-chorus version of The Exception and the Rule. 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 interest to him, especially the politics of
literature and theater in a global context. It encourages a wide
variety of perspectives and approaches and, like Brecht, is
committed to the use value of literature, theater, and theory.
Volume 43 opens with a reconstruction of Brecht's two-chorus
version of The Exception and the Rule (Reiner Steinweg) and
continues with a selection of Helmut Heissenbuttel's reviews of
Brecht's work. Four articles (by Christine Kunzel, Carsten Mindt,
Judith Niehaus,and Sebastian Schuller) address Brechtian aspects of
Gisela Elsner's novels. The next two essays (by Hunter Bivens and
Friedemann Weidauer) revisit Brecht's reflections on affect and
empathy. Also included are papers from the 2016IBS "Recycling
Brecht" Symposium: on Brecht's recycling of Lenin in his "neue
Dramatik" (Joseph Dial), on Paul Celan as a reconfiguration of
Brecht (Paul Peters), on Brecht's adaptation of Shakespeare's
Coriolanus (MartinRevermann), and on Hilary Mantel's Brechtian
reconfiguration of Thomas Cromwell (Markus Wessendorf). The volume
features Richard Schroeder's farewell lecture on Brecht's Life of
Galileo and an essay by Ulrich Plass on BerndStegemann's allegedly
Brechtian reclamation of critical realism. It concludes with Zhang
Wei's interview with the Chinese dramaturg, playwright, and Brecht
translator Li Jianming. Editor Markus Wessendorf is a Professorin
the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Hawai'i at
Manoa in Honolulu.
