Milfull, John: From Baal to Keuner

The «Second Optimism» of Bertolt Brecht. The author attempts to demonstrate a dialectic development in Brecht's work, form the self-destructive nihilism of the early work, which finds its culmination in the opera «Mahagonny», through the crisis of identity in the early «Lehrstücke», which shows itself, above all, in the conflict between Baal, the «alter ego» of the younger Brecht, and Keuner, who fulfils a similar function in the later work, to the «second optimism» of the last plays and poems. 156 Seiten, broschiert (Australian and New Zealand Studies in German Language and Literature; Vol. 5/Peter Lang Verlag 1974) Mängelexemplar/near mint
