Classic Theatre Vol II: Five German Plays

Eric Ed. Bentley

4.9/5 (18236 ratings)

Description:The fact that Egmont is known outside Germany only as something for which Beehoven wrote an overture gives some indication of how little we know of the German classics. Certainly it was not ever thus, for in the nineteenth century English translations of Goethe and Schiller were widely read. But today most of those translations have gone as dead as the Victorian versionis of greek tragedy, and so, befor the Germans could be presented in the Classic Theatre series, translations new in spirit as well in fact had to be made. This volume presents five German classics in a new English dress: Egmont, perhaps the most lively of Goethe's plays; Don Carlos and Mary Stuart, which are perenially among the most popular plays of Schiller, the latter having been a recent success even in London and New York, the former familiar, at least, in its operatic form; and, finally, two of the greats plays of Heinrich von Kleist, a fixture who holds more interest for many readers today than Schiller or even Goethe. Penthesillea and The Prince of Homburg are among the most amazing plays ever written. This volume can mean the rediscovery of Goethe and Schiller-and the discovery of Kleist-for stage and study alike.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
