Publisher Description With over 80 scholarly articles, reviews, and critical interventions from the last 50 years, Bertolt Brecht: Critical and Primary Sources set covers the key periods of Brechts life, from his time in Augsburg (1898–1918) through the Weimer Republic (1918–1933), exile (1933–1948) and the German Democratic Republic (1949–1956). It also explores his theories, fundamentally his belief in the theatres ability to represent and change the world, core practices and relationships.Alongside primary sources that include writings by Brecht published in English for the first time, such as his short but important reflection in originality in theatre production, key featured scholars include Fredric Jameson and his essay Episch, or, the Third Person, and pieces on Brechts collaborative working methods by Claus and Wera KÜchenmeister, and the director Egon Monk.Volume 1 covers Brechts life and work, including essays on his famous Mother Courage and Her Children, production reviews, poetry, novels and short stories, with some thoughts on his journals.
