- This 704-page investigation into Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) relates his life and works to the major political, economic and social, as well as more specifically literary and theatrical events of his turbulent age, in which fascism and communism competed with liberal democracy. It required sustained immersion in a large body of primary and critical texts, as well as the Brecht archives in Augsburg and Berlin. This monograph offers a fresh understanding of his life and works on the basis of a new appreciation of Brecht’s singular artistic sensibility, achieved in conjunction with a first medical history.
