This fascinating anthology brings together in one volume many of the most important articles written about Brecht between 1957 and 1997. The collection explores a wide range of viewpoints about Brecht's theatre theories and practice, as well as including three plays not otherwise available in English:The Beggar or The Dead Dog, Baden LehrstuckandThe Seven Deadly Sins of the Lower Middle Class. Editors Martin and Bial have brought together a unique compendium which covers all the key areas including:* the development of Brecht's aesthetic theories* the relationship of Epic theatre to orthodox dramatic theatre* Brecht's collaboration with Kurt Weill, Paul Dessau and Max Frisch* Brecht's influence on a variety of cultures and contexts including England, Italy , Moscow and Japan. Together these essays are an ideal companion to Brecht's plays, and provide an invaluable reconsideration of Brecht's work.
