Ebook: Tragödie, Textil und Moderne: Entbindungskünste bei Ibsen, Wedekind und Hofmannsthal

Research into the relationship between German-language tragedy and modernism around 1900 has been shaped by "rumors" of their incompatibility. This study challenges that idea and looks at dramatic works by Henrik Ibsen, Frank Wedekind, and Hugo von Hofmannsthal to show how crucial the production of tragedies – within the paradigm of Entbindung (disentanglement) – participated in fundamental considerations about modernity around 1900.
