Description

This is the first comprehensive, critical survey of Brecht's poetry, from its beginnings in World War I to the 1950's, to appear in either English or German. Offering a new perspective on the poet's work, it draws on the most current publications and on unpublished archival material to relate the poems to Brecht's other writings and to st them in historical context. Individual texts-many not previously discussed elsewhere-are anlyzed and many earlier readings of well known poems are reassessed.
