Postdramatik: Transformationen des epischen Theaters bei Peter Handke, Heiner Müller, Elfriede Jelinek und Rainald Goetz

This study investigates the history of post-dramatic literature between 1966 and 1995. It reveals the ways that post-dramatic writing styles lent themselves productively to international modern theater, continued to develop dynamically, and came to form a tradition of its own. Extensive reviews of post-dramatic trends and forms are interspersed with close textual analyses, including examples from the theatrical stage.
