Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Expressionism had run its feverish course, its foremost exponent Georg Kaiser (1878-1945) ‑‑ The Burghers of Calais, From Morn to Midnight, Gas ‑‑ proved equally adept at the lighter fare demanded by post-war audiences. Of some nine hundred comedies premièred in the Weimar era, his Pulp Fiction was an early triumph, often revived and played now as parody of a contagious literary genre, now as critique of Old World pieties. The New Woman emerged even more clearly towards the end of the ‘Roaring Twenties’ in Clairvoyance ‑‑ though now also as antagonist, from whose vampish sophistication the loving wife emancipates both self and wayward husband. Between these two comedies, in One Day in October (acclaimed especially in Gustav Gründgens’s gripping production) focus shifts to psychological wrestling in deadly earnest over the parentage of a child. A parallel dilemma underlies the compelling plot, rising tension and searing climax of Agnete ‑‑ an uncanny precursor of the ‘Heimkehrer’ literature inspired by soldiers and captives returning home after 1945. This was indeed a fitting play to mark the rebirth of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949. Kaiser had died in exile, though not before taking leave, like Prospero, with another wry comedy, The Gordian Egg.

Download or read book The Critical Reception of Georg Kaiser s Dramas written by Peter K. Tyson and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis offers a socio-historical study which examines Georg Kaiser's place in German cultural life as seen through the reviews of his plays. The reviews are intended as a counterbalance to the published texts. Volume I contains an edited documentation of 585 reviews (and supporting documents) of 44 of Kaiser's plays which were premiered from 1915-45. This documentation makes available to scholars, in a single volume, reviews collected from archives and libraries in Canada and Europe. Over 90% of these reviews have not been reprinted since 1945 and are not readily accessible. Presenting a wide panorama of contemporary opinions towards Kaiser's dramas and concentrating on the premieres and major provincial and Berlin productions, the documentation recreates an important period of theatre history. Volume II, a commentary, highlights the major points discussed by Kaiser's contemporaries. Many problems of interest to modern critics are discussed - e.g. Kaiser's breakthrough as a dramatist, his problems with the censors, his difficulties with the Nazis, political attitudes towards his dramas, the categorisation of his plays and their topicality in their social context. The bibliography lists, for the period 1915-45, all the reviews which are contained in the "Georg Kaiser Collection" (University of Alberta) as well as the reviews which I have collected from other sources.
Download or read book Georg Kaiser and the Critics written by Audrone B. Willeke and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 1995 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study of the critical attention devoted to Georg Kaiser, the important German dramatist. Georg Kaiser (1878-1945) is considered one of the most enigmatic figures in modern German literature; while agreeing on his importance in the development of German drama, critics have always been puzzled by the diversity of and contradictions in his works. This book traces the evolution of Kaiser's literary reputation over more than eighty years of scholarship. It shows how the initial critical approaches (formalistic, socio-ethical, psychological) were developed by later scholars; reviews Kaiser's place in Expressionism and the impact of his aesthetic theories on the development of epic theatre; and offers a performance history of Kaiser's dramas on stage from 1945 to 1990.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work, originally published in 1922, is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Written by the German dramatist Georg Kaiser, one the most successful Expressionist dramatists of his age. This play, among the most frequently performed German Expressionist works, charts the life of a cashier who steals money from the bank and flees to Berlin. The un-named protagonist's bid to escape his middle class daily life is ultimately frustrated. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
