Klappentext zu „From Perinet to Jelinek “
In twenty essays, prefaced by a historical introduction, this volume surveys key features of the last two hundred years of theatre in what was the principal theatrical centre of central Europe until the First World War, relating key playwrights, plays, and institutional developments to the political and intellectual context that has helped shape them. The studies combine to give a picture of conservative and progressive movements in Viennese theatre from the aesthetic and political conservatism of the early nineteenth century to the innovations of the great period of Viennese modernism at the turn of the century, renewed conservatism in the inter-war years and the resurgence in the last two decades of the twentieth century of an outspokenly critical treatment of right-wing politics.

Pressezitat
«...this is a lively, thorough and handsomely produced volume. Footnotes, clear type and a useful index enhance the value of the publication, which deserves a place in every scholarly library.» (Forum for Modern Language Studies)«Almost all theses papers are based on extensive research, which enables them, despite their brevity, to pack in a remarkable amount of data. Thanks no doubt to careful editing, they are concise and well presented. Rather than a comprehensive survey, they offer a variety of unexpected insights into their subject, providing both solid information and stimulus for further enquiry. [...] Any individual or institution with an interest in Austrian theatre (or indeed theatre in general) should acquire the volume.» (Ritchie Robertson, Modern Language Review)
«Taken as a whole, this collection of essays offers a solid and broad-based introduction to Viennese theater, with interesting and highly readable articles from some of the top scholars in the field. In addition, many individual articles offer insightful and new interpretations of well-known dramatists and their works. The volume successfully achieves its stated aim to relate text with context - theater with political scene - thereby making a significant contribution to extant scholarship.» (Linda C. DeMeritt, Modern Austrian Literature)
«...the volume is a fine and useful addition to the field, a mine of interesting facts.» (Robert Pyrah, Compass)
