DDR-Dramatik: Major Critical Studies, 1966-78, of East German Playwrights

Abstract

Bibliographical information on "DDR-Dramatik" is hard to come by. The best sources are the Bibliographie der deutschen Sprach-und Literaturwissenschaft and the MLA International Bibliography, but neither one separates material on East German literature from that on other Germanic literatures, and neither can be fully relied upon to list the important books, parts of books, and articles on any aspect of modem drama. Therefore it is difficult to piece together a good working list of the major critical studies, scholarly contributions, and literary interviews concerning such dramatists as Peter Hacks, Heiner Milller, Volker Braun, and Helmut Baierl.
