Theatralität in Den Späten Dramen Heiner Müllers

This monograph, written in German, looks at the later plays of Heiner Müller (1929–1995), a dramatist whose work made a significant contribution to German theatre. Its focus is on the works of the 1970s and 1980s, running from Hamletmaschine to Bildbeschreibung.

Katharina Keim reads these dramas through their intertextual links to model texts from the history of European theatre. Through such borrowings, the study argues, Müller exposes the social techniques of representation at work in European culture.

The book is a useful reference for students and scholars of German theatre and modern drama. It is published by de Gruyter, ISBN-13 9783484660236.
