The book tells the story of Shakespeare in the German-speaking theatre against the background of German culture and politics in the twentieth century. In surveying the twentieth century, Hortmann concentrates on the two most important and fruitful periods: the years of the Weimar Republic (1919-33) and the turbulent decades of the sixties and seventies, when the German theatre was revitalised by a stormy marriage of avant-garde art and revolutionary politics. This is a book for Shakespeare scholars, theatre historians, and all those interested in the cultural and political history of Germany in the twentieth century.
