Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)The German Library (31)
This volume brings together plays by three distinctive Viennese playwrights: Franz Grillparzer (1791-1872), Johann Nepomuk Nestroy (1801-62), and Friedrich Hebbel (1813-63). King Ottcar's Rise and Fall, by Grillparzer, is less a tragedy than an elaborate celebration of the Hapsburgs. A very different work, Nestroy's The Talisman is a hilarious satire on the prejudice against redheads in an Austrian village. In Agnes Bernauer, Hebbel makes a plea for women's rights against a Hegelian backdrop of social change. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The tragedy 'King Ottocar' is about Ottocar II of Bohemia, a 13th-Century ruler. Arrogant and expansionist, he meets his match with the ascent of Rudolf of Hapsburg to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. The is ultimately less about the title character's fall than the founding of the Habsburg dynasty.
'The Talisman' is a comedy. In a place where redheads are considered abhorrent, we see a man's fortunes transformed when he dons a wig. This seems an unpromising premise, but it reads surprisingly well.
'Agnes Bernauer' is another historical tragedy. In the early 15th Century, Alberich III of Bavaria chooses to make a beautiful peasant his wife, even though his father Ernest, Duke of Bavaria, sees that it will lead the country to civil war.
