Szondi shows how the rise of modern drama was linked to broader social processes and expressed some of the beliefs characteristic of early modern Europe. This was manifested in the convention that form was ahistorical and it simply required the appropriate subject matter to do justice to the form. But in the late nineteenth century the form of drama began to change, giving rise to the new types of drama characteristic of the twentieth century. Szondi offers a highly original interpretation of this transformation, linking it with the emergence of an epic form which emphasizes the isolation of the individual.   This concise but wide-ranging book discusses the work of Ibsen, Chekhov, Strindberg, Sartre, Brecht and Wilder, among others.

The book's three studies each concentrate on a different Celan poem. \"The Poetry of Constancy: Paul Celan's Translation of Shakespeare's Sonnet 105\" investigates a historical turn from a poetry that claims to present its object to a poetry that only promises to do so. \"Reading 'Engführung'\" follows the movement of poetic language into territory undisclosed to epistemic reason. \"Eden\" addresses \"Du liegst,\" a poem on the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht; Szondi actually was with Celan when the poem was written. It analyzes the relation between the historical facts to which a poem refers and its composition.    The book contains, as appendixes, Szondi's notes for three more projected studies of Celan poems, left unwritten at the time of his death in 1971.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007648432401,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007651873041,"sku":"NIN9780804744027","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51727189377297,"sku":"CIN0804744025VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804744025.jpg?v=1757414679"},{"product_id":"introduction-to-literary-hermeneutics-book-peter-szondi-9780521301114","title":"Introduction to Literary Hermeneutics","description":"Peter Szondi is widely regarded as being among the most distinguished post-war literary critics.
