The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Volume 2: Social Dramas by Gerhart Hauptmann

Primarily in recognition of his fruitful, varied and outstanding production in the realm of dramatic art, Gerhart Hauptmann recieved a Nobel Prize in 1912. Contents of Volume 1: Preface Introduction Before DawnThe Weavers (Die Weber)The Beaver Coat (Der Biberpelz)The Conflagration (Der rote Hahn) Contents of Volume 2:IntroductionDrayman Henschel (Fuhrmann Henschel)Rose Bernd (Rose Bernd)The Rats (Die Ratten)The present edition of Hauptmann's works contains all of his plays with the exception of a few inconsiderable fragments and the historical drama Florian Geyer. The latter has been excluded by reason of its great length, its divergence from the characteristic moods of Hauptmann's art,and that failure of high success which the author himself has implicitly acknowledged. The arrangement of the volumes follows, with such modifications as the increase of material has made necessary, the method used by Hauptmann in the first and hitherto the only collected edition ofhis dramas. Eight plays are presented here in this two volume edition and hence the present collection gives the completest view now attainable of Hauptmann's activity as a dramatist.
