- Summary:
- "This study aims to provide new interpretations of three major German plays about war in the twentieth century by looking at them through the lens of the medieval English Everyman play, moving them away from their historical contexts and highlighting their broader philosophical importance. The plays are Ernst Toller's Hinkemann, Wolfgang Borchert's Draussen vor der Tür (The Man Outside); and Max Frisch's Biedermann und die Brandstifter (The Arsonists); Hugo von Hofmannsthal's adaptation of the medieval Everyman play is also touched on "-- Provided by publisher.
