- Description
- Reviews
Splendid articles that reflect the continuing dialogue about the genesis of Brecht’s works and their impact on contemporary theatre, litereature, and film . . . Though many subjects are discussed, the most significant are on Brecht and the Soviet theatre and on major productions of Brecht in the Soviet Union since 1957. There are also fine evaluations, however, of the political climate and experimental staging, and of Brecht and the cinema. The volume is one of consistent brillance and fresh views.
—Theatre Journal
Fill[s] a gap in the English Brecht criticism and provide[s] the English speaking reader with a framework for analyzing the political dimension of Brecht’s work. As such, it should be hailed as a welcome addition to the secondary literature in this field.
