to him, especially the politics of literature and theater in a
global context. Now published for the International Brecht Society

productions in Australia (Laura Ginters), and Brecht and Karl Kraus

the Chinese author Feng Zhi (Lin Cheng) and an unpublished letter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

discussion about aspects of theater and literature that were of
particular interest to Brecht, especially the politics of
literature and the politics of theater in a global context. This
volume includes a special section of five articles focused on
Bertolt Brecht and Georg Buchner, revolutionary playwright of an
earlier era. Also featured are articles and keynote addresses from
the International Brecht Society symposium held in Brazil in 2013,
under the theme "The Creative Spectator." New research on Brecht
and Puccini, Brechtand tragedy, and George Tabori's play Nathans
Tod rounds out the volume, along with reviews of recent books and
Jost Hermand's tribute to Werner Mittenzwei.

to him; this annual volume documents the International Brecht
Society's 2016 symposium, "Recycling Brecht." Published for the

the papers given and protocols of the events held at the
International Brecht Society's "Recycling Brecht" symposium at St.

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
