Reviews

This meticulously researched and informative book will be a boon for theater practitioners. It should also serve as a model for performance histories of other Brect plays. Helen Fehervary Gestus-Music-Text meticulous original research Anselm Heinrich NTQ Laura Bradley's Brecht and Political Theatre demonstrates convincingly and compellingly that this lesser known work merits the attention that she most assiduously devotes to it. Bradley's book has several aims, all of which she competently accomplishes. Clare Finburgh, The Review of English Studies [An] impressive work. Forum For Modern Language Studies, Vol. 43, No. 3 This meticulously researched account of the staging and reception of Brecht's Die Mutter covering a period of seven decades is the first monograph on the play in any language...a densely argued and rewarding survey. J.J. White, MLR, 103.1
