The History of U.S. Information Control in Post-War Germany
In May of 1945, the American army, along with those of its Allies, occupied the cities and towns of Hitler’s Third Reich. While most American soldiers wondered how Germany’s citizens were going to feed and shelter themselves, this volume introduces the reader to another group of men who were concerned about a different form of starvation. The men of what was to become the Information Control Division (ICD) in the American Zone were preparing an antidote to 12 years of National Socialist propaganda, which was to be a steady diet of carefully selected bits of information that were calculated to change the way the German people understood the world. It was designed to transform the Germans ...
Zwischen Provinz und Staatstheater
Bühnen unter der Trägerschaft einer Stadt bilden die überwiegende Grundlage der Theaterstätten im deutschsprachigen Raum. Am Beispiel des Theaters in Augsburg widmet sich Christine Holl-Enzler erstmals einer umfassenden Erörterung der Institution des Stadttheaters. Gleichzeitig geht sie der Frage nach, ob das Stadttheater als Provinzbühne verstanden wird und nimmt außerdem dessen kulturelle Bedeutung für die Stadtgesellschaft in den Blick. Durch das spezielle Verständnis, das Theater als Institution zu begreifen, bieten sich neue Erkenntnisse für Bühnen in der Provinz, denen der Sprung in den Rang eines Staatstheaters gelingen kann.

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 Drawing on letters, diaries and unpublished material, including Brecht's medical records, Parker offers a rich and enthralling account of Brecht's life and work, viewed through the prism of the artist.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.
An International Annotated Bibliography of Strindberg Studies 1870-2005: The plays
This copiously annotated bibliography documents and examines the whole range of commentary on Strindberg's works and activity in many fields besides the plays for which he is internationally best known. These include his prose fiction and poetry, his work as an historian and natural historian, and his relationship to the other arts, most notably his painting. It is concerned with both lasting works of literary and dramatic criticism, as well as reviews of his books and plays in the theatre, and some more ephemeral material, all of this in several languages. Organised generically and by subject and individual work, the bibliography enables the reader to trace the changing impact of Strindberg...
