Opis

Excerpt from The Creditor: A Tragi-Comedy As has been stated, 'the W vers' had an enthusiastic reception, because the public related it to the abor movement of the day, not because it was a great picture of an epoch that had already become historical. In Florian Geyer Hauptmann applied the technique of 'the Weavers' to the period of the Peasants' Revolt during the Reformation. This work betrays the same painstaking delineation of characters. The language is a marvellously accurate reproduction of the language of the times. But the poet erred in expecting the same enthusiastic interest on the part of the public that had been evoked by 'the Weavers.' This appreciation did not come because the public lacked the necessary historical insight. The play was pronounced a failure and critics almost unanimously agreed with the public. But gradually a more favorable opinion is asserting itself. A modified version has already met with some success on the stage. Indi vidual writers pronounce it one of the greatest of Hauptmann's plays. In this connection the opinion of the historian Lamprecht is of interest, because Hauptmann is doing in art what Lamprecht has done in historical research. Both men attempt to reproduce the 'psyche' of past epochs. Lamprecht, in summing up a very complimentary review, states that the play suffers from vagueness. Since this criticism has appeared repeatedly, it will be well to say a word about its validity. The period itself was one of confusion of conżicting ideals and conceptions therefore, no great dominating note could be introduced into the play without violating the spirit of the entire work. The tragedy of Geyer is that he lives in a time of confusion and this confusion becomes his undoing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
