The Fortunes of Everyman in Twentieth-Century German Drama HARDCOVER 2021 by ...

Description: FASTSHIPPING HASSLEFREERETURNS SECUREPAYMENT EXCELLENTSERVICE Description Death comes to everyone, and in the late-medieval morality play of Everyman the familiar skeleton forces the universalized central figure to come to terms with this. Only his inner resources, in the forms of Good Deeds and Knowledge, ensure that he repents and is redeemed. Three important twentieth-century German plays echo Everyman - Toller's Hinkemann, Borchert's The Man Outside, and Frisch's The Arsonists/Firebugs - but the unprecedented scale of killing in the First and Second World Wars changed the view of death, while in the Cold War the nuclear destruction literally of everyone became a possibility. Brian Murdoch traces the heritage of Everyman in the three plays in terms of dramatic effect, changes in the image of Death, and especially the problem of living with existential guilt. Death, now over-fed, still has to be faced, but Everyman has the harder problem of living with the awareness of human wickedness without the possibility of salvation.All three plays have tended to be viewed in their specific historical contexts, but by viewing them less rigidly and as part of a long dramatic tradition, Murdoch shows that all present a message of lasting and universal significance. They pose directly to the theater audience questions not just of how to cope with death, but how to cope with life.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction1: Everyman and Jedermann2: Hinkemann: Ernst Toller and the Effects of the First World War3: Beckmann: Wolfgang Borchert, the Medieval Medium, and the Modern Message4: Biedermann: Max Frisch and a Morality Play without a MoralConclusionBibliographyIndex Publisher ‏ : ‎ Camden House Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 194 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1640141170 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1640141179 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.47 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6 x 0.5 x 9 inches SHIPPING Shipping All items fast!
