Reviews

'It should be mentioned that the generous editor Stephen Brockmann translated a number of German-language contributions himself. The book has been edited in an exemplary way, including a full bibliography, short biographies of the authors, and an index of people, works, key places, and even concepts. The index alone reveals that concepts such as Gestus and Lehrstuck (learning play) have been taken up and handled with remarkable diversity. And the Threepenny Opera is vital in many respects.' Michael Friedrichs, Dreigroschenheft Review 'Brockmann's Brecht is a forward-looking one. The excellent bibliography and index make this a useful book for readers wanting to find their way round and forge their own connections … The best contributions start to rethink Brecht for the future too … Indeed, the volume as a whole suggests that the new Brecht, indeed the new 'Brechts', will be relevant for English-language scholars, both students and practitioners, for a long time to come.' Karen Leeder, Modern Language Review
