Description
This is the first cultural exploration of playwriting, directing, acting, and theater architecture in fin-de-siecle Munich. Peter Jelavich examines the commercial, political, and cultural tensions that fostered modernism's artistic revolt against the classical and realistic modes of nineteenth-century drama.
