Bertolt Brecht: A Literary Life
This first English language biography of Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956) in two decades paints a strikingly new picture of one of the twentieth century's most controversial cultural icons. Drawing on letters, diaries and unpublished material, including Brecht's medical records, Parker offers a rich and enthralling account of Brecht's life and work, viewed through the prism of the artist. Tracing his extraordinary life, from his formative years in Augsburg, through the First World War, his politicisation during the Weimar Republic and his years of exile, up to the Berliner Ensemble's dazzling productions in Paris and London, Parker shows how Brecht achieved his transformative effect upon world theatre and poetry. Bertolt Brecht: A Literary Life is a powerful portrait of a great, compulsively contradictory personality, whose artistry left its lasting imprint on modern culture.

The Partnership
Among the most creative and outsized personalities of the Weimar Republic, that sizzling yet decadent epoch between the Great War and the Nazis' rise to power, were the renegade poet Bertolt Brecht and the rebellious avant-garde composer Kurt Weill. These two young geniuses and the three women vital to their work—actresses Lotte Lenya and Helene Weigel and writer Elizabeth Hauptmann—joined talents to create the theatrical and musical masterworks The Threepenny Opera and The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, only to split in rancor as their culture cracked open and their aesthetic and temperamental differences became irreconcilable. The Partnership is the first book to tell the full...
Rethinking Brechtian Film Theory and Cinema
Making a compelling argument for the continuing relevance of Brechtian film theory and cinema, this book offers new research and analysis of Brecht the film and media theorist, placing his scattered writings on the subject within the lively film theory debates that took place in Europe between the 1920sÃǾ2ƠÂ01960s.
Die große Schuld
Wie hat die Literatur im Land der Täter die ungeheuerlichen NS-Verbrechen thematisiert? Die Welle der von den angloamerikanischen Besatzungsmächten vornehmlich lizenzierten autobiografischen Berichten aus Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslagern bricht mit der Gründung der beiden deutschen Staaten weitgehend ab. Im Zeichen des Kalten Krieges delegieret die DDR als der vermeintlich 'neue' und bessere Staat die Schuld an den Westen. Das Wirtschaftswunderland BRD instrumentalisierte die wenigen ernsthaften Auseinandersetzungen zur symbolischen Entschuldung und feierte die zahlreichen Aufführungen des Nathan. Wie dauerhaft die braune Ideologie nachwirkte, zeigen die Spruchkammerakte Erwin Guido Kolbenheyers, die Trivialisierung des Nürnberger Ärzteprozesses, die mythologisierenden Reiseberichte aus dem von Deutschen massakrierten Griechenland, die Darstellung der Zigeuner in erzählenden Texten. Für die 'Schuld' der Überlebenden stehen die Texte von Peter Weiss, George Tabori und Johannes Bobrowski ein. Der Band enthält ferner eine erstmals gedruckte Erzählung von Alexander Kluge.
