The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 6 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 6 The three plays in this volume present, in clearly defined fashion, three phases of Hauptmann's dra matic art. In The Maidens of the Mount he te calls an episode of his own past which had faded into the remoteness and unsubstantiality of dreams; in Griselda he essays once more a modern and hu man interpretation of one of the famous fables of the world; in Gabriel Schilling': Flight he grapples with the problem of sex in its acutest and most modern form.
