Product Description
This study looks at the work of three German language dramatists, Gerhart Hauptmann, Arthur Schnitzler and Frank Wedekind. These three figures are regarded as the most important German-language dramatists between Ibsen and Brecht. Together, their work provides a representative picture of drama in Germany/Austria in the period 1889-1914, when Vienna and Berlin enjoyed a heyday of literary and cultural activity. These dramatists dealt with the crucial social questions of the period, and in this study Peter Skrine looks at their treatment of youth, sex, marriage, communication, city life, technological change and the moral, social and personal choices facing the thinking person in the late 19th and early 20th century. ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Frank Wedekind," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Frank Wedekind in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Frank Wedekind when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Frank Wedekind, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
