Written with exemplary clarity and verve, this book uncovers Nietzsche's deepest attachments to the theater. It also explains why dramatists from Shaw to O'Neill were so captivated by this flamboyant thinker. The result is a new understanding of modern drama as the intersection of theater and philosophy. --Martin Puchner, author of The Drama of Ideas: Platonic Provocations in Theater and Philosophy David Kornhaber's book shows how ancient and modern theater as well as cultural criticism and theory, art history, musical analysis, and philosophy all interact with one another in Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy. In this detailed analysis, Nietzsche's 'speculations'--which initially created an academic scandal--are not only steeped in a profound understanding of the history and theory of the theater but also reveal themselves as a major source of inspiration for the most important developments of modern drama. --Freddie Rokem, author of Philosophers and Thespians David Kornhaber's book is a brilliant and original study of Nietzsche's debt to theater and vice versa. In a clear and engaging style, Kornhaber explores a dialogue between philosophy and theater history. --Matthew Wilson Smith, author of The Total Work of Art: From Bayreuth to Cyberspace and editor of Georg B chner: The Major Works
