The Englishman Isherwood, on the other hand, who had come to Berlin in 1929 principally because of the sexual freedom it offered him as a homosexual, remained an outsider in Germany,2 despite living in Berlin for over three years and enjoying a wide range of contacts with various social groups.' At first sight the authorial positions could hardly be more different.

  • CABARET SYNOPSIS the Scene Is a Sleazy Nightclub in Berlin As The
    CABARET SYNOPSIS The scene is a sleazy nightclub in Berlin as the 1920s are drawing to a close. Cliff Bradshaw, a young American writer, and Ernst Ludwig, a German, strike up a friendship on a train. Ernst gives Cliff an address in Berlin where he will find a room. Cliff takes this advice and Fräulein Schneider, a vivacious 60 year old, lets him have a room very cheaply. Cliff, at the Kit Kat Club, meets an English girl, Sally Bowles, who is working there as a singer and hostess. Next day, as Cliff is giving Ernst an English lesson, Sally arrives with all her luggage and moves in. Ernst comes to ask Cliff to collect something for him from Paris; he will pay well for the service. Cliff knows that this will involve smuggling currency, but agrees to go. Ernst's fee will be useful now that Cliff and Sally are to be married. Fraulein Schneider and her admirer, a Jewish greengrocer named Herr Schultz, also decide to become engaged and a celebration party is held in Herr Schultz shop. In the middle of the festivities Ernst arrives wearing a Nazi armband. Cliff realizes that his Paris errand was on behalf of the Nazi party and refuses Ernst's payment, but Sally accepts it. At Cliff's flat Sally gets ready to go back to work at the Kit Kat Klub. Cliff determines that they will leave for America but that evening he calls at the Klub and finds Sally there. He is furious, and when Ernst approaches him to perform another errand Cliff knocks him down.

  • The Simplicity of I Am a Camera Has Led to Multifarious Interpretations Both in Terms of the Book’S Form and Content
    The simplicity of I am a camera has led to multifarious interpretations both in terms of the book’s form and content. Discuss this statement through exploring how Cabaret appropriates social, political and cultural concerns explored in "Goodbye to Berlin" and Weimar Germany during the 1930’s. Isherwood’s novel Goodbye to Berlin is a roughly continuous narrative that explores traditional values of Berlin and Weimar Germany during the 20th century. By blending fact and fiction, he sought to achieve a naive, honest style of writing that encapsulates the social political and cultural concerns of his 1930’s context. The popular film Cabaret directed by Bob Fosse effectively appropriates these concerns through a musical form. Both composers work to address Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s and the decadence of Berlin in the years before World War II. During this period, there was a definite emphasis on strict social and moral codes. One way Isherwood challenges these perceptions is through exploring the homosexual character of Christopher Isherwood. Secondly, Sally Bowles is an elite example of how a character can represent political and cultural values of Berlin society. I will explore how Bob Fosse interprets and reflects Isherwood’s ability to cleverly weave together and dramatizes his observations of life in nineteen- thirties Berlin, capturing the spirit of the city with great liveliness and wit. Goodbye To Berlin was set in one of the most ‘tumultuous periods of the twentieth century’. In the context of Weimar Germany, there were strict moral and social codes. Isherwood took this as an opportunity to test these fixated perceptions that existed through introducing a homosexual character.

  • Christopher Isherwood's Camp
    Theory and Practice in English Studies Volume 8, No. 2, 2019 E-ISSN: 1805-0859 CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD’S CAMP Thomas Castañeda Abstract In this paper I consider recurrent themes in the work of Christopher Isherwood, a novelist best known for his portrayal of Berlin's seedy cabaret scene just before the outbreak of the Second World War. The themes I discuss each hinge on un- canny discrepancies between youth and old age, male and female, sacred and pro- fane, real and sham. Together, I argue, these themes indicate the author's invest- ment in a queer camp sensibility devoted to theatricality, ironic humor, and the supremacy of style. I focus on specific descriptions of characters, objects, and places throughout the author's work in order to foreground camp's rather exuber- ant interest in artifice, affectation, and excess, as well as its ability to apprehend beauty and worthiness even, or especially, in degraded objects, people, or places. Ultimately, I argue that the term camp, especially as it applies to Isherwood's work, names both a comedic style and a specifically queer empathetic mode rooted in shared histories of hurt, secrecy, and social marginalization. Keywords Artifice; camp; dandy; humor; irony; style; theatricality; queerness * * * CHRISTOPHER Isherwood (1904–1986) first glossed the term camp in a 1954 novel entitled The World in the Evening; there, he describes camp as a way of “ex- pressing what’s basically serious to you in terms of fun and artifice and elegance” (125). The novel centers around a bisexual widower named Stephen Monk, who flees his second marriage in Los Angeles to live with his “aunt” Sarah – a close family friend – in a small Quaker community outside Philadelphia.

  • Tlte Kit KAT Klub 0Rcltestra
    THE willkommen ~~ Menvenue welcome -· ~EAUTiFUt FROM TltE DiRECTOR WILLKOMMEN, BIENVENUE, WELCOME ... .. to the Kit Kat Klub circa 1930's Berlin. Here, the decline of the social openness, artistic expression, and political freedom of the Weimar Republic intersects with the rise of Nazism. "Innocent" Sally Bowles performs at the club and her unconventional relationship with Clifford Bradshaw-an American novelist looking for inspiration- is paralleled by a gentle romance between Cliff's landlady, Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz, a German )ew. These two doomed relationships develop in a changing world only to be suddenly enveloped by an evil force that would soon alter history. When selecting a show to propose for production, I couldn't help but feel that the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre was a perfect venue for Cabaret! The show opens in late 1929 and, while researching, I discovered that Ann Arbor Civic Theatre premiered in 1929 and the Mendelssohn Theatre opened in 1929. The theme of the dangers and risks of political apathy resonated as well. (As Cliff observes: "It was the end of the world ... ! was dancing with Sally Bowles and we were both fast asleep~) Combining all of this with a stunning show full of rich, complicated characters, mesmerizing music and unlimited opportunities to investigate - the choice was easy and exciting! Cabaret is rich in history. In 1929, (that year again!) Christopher Isherwood, an Englishman living in Germany, wrote, "I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking." Among several other characters (his tales were eventually published in America as The Berlin Stories), he described an English woman named Sally Bowles, "one of those individuals whom respectable society shuns in horror~ Playwright john Van Druten recognized Sally's potential for the stage and built a love story around her in his 1951 play, I Am A Camera.

  • The Unforgiving Margin in the Fiction of Christopher Isherwood
    The Unforgiving Margin in the Fiction of Christopher Isherwood Paul Michael McNeil Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 Copyright 2011 Paul Michael McNeil All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Unforgiving Margin in the Fiction of Christopher Isherwood Paul Michael McNeil Rebellion and repudiation of the mainstream recur as motifs throughout Christopher Isherwood‟s novels and life, dating back to his early experience of the death of his father and continuing through to the end of his own life with his vituperative rant against the heterosexual majority. Threatened by the accepted, by the traditional, by the past, Isherwood and his characters escape to the margin, hoping to find there people who share alternative values and ways of living that might ultimately prove more meaningful and enlightened than those they leave behind in the mainstream. In so doing, they both discover that the margin is a complicated place that is more often menacing than redemptive. Consistently, Isherwood‟s fiction looks at margins and the impulse to flee from the mainstream in search of a marginal alternative. On the one hand, these alternative spaces are thought to be redemptive, thought to liberate and nourish. Isherwood reveals that they do neither. To explore this theme, the dissertation focuses on three novels, The Berlin Stories (The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin), A Meeting by the River, and A Single Man, because ach of these novels corresponds to marginal journeys of Isherwood— namely, his sexual and creative exile in Berlin from 1929 to 1933, his embrace of Hindu philosophy, and his life as a homosexual.

  • Breakfast at the Prater: Christopher Isherwood, His Women and Men
    Breakfast at the Prater: Christopher Isherwood, His Women and Men Gian Piero Piretto My intention is to analyze Christopher Isherwood’s novel Prater Violet1 in connection with a group of books, plays and films that, despite their distance in genre, time and space, provide a basis for an interactive investigation of Isherwood’s novel.2 In Berlin Stories, imagining her own destiny and that of her friend Chris, a fictionalized version of the author, Sally Bowles tells Chris: “We two old tramps are going to be the most marvelous novelist and the greatest actress in the world”.3 Nobody, at the moment of her remark, would have agreed with her, and no-one would have been inclined to confirm her optimistic view. Still, Chris and Sally are determined to face both life and a world turning Nazi and showing very little promise. The political situation notwithstanding, and with all her weakness, unfocused passion and lack of common sense, Sally has great expectations for the future, just like the two tramps who, in Chaplin’s 1936 movie Modern Times, walk towards the horizon, uncertain yet indomitable, showing their backs to the spectators.4 The female character is fundamental in this story. Chris is a shy, insecure, and presumably gay young Englishman living in the gaudy atmosphere of Berlin in the Weimar years, who is at once attracted and bewildered by Sally’s unprompted vitality and bravery, just the opposite of his own attitude toward life. Chris depends on Sally: he has left England to get acquainted with the rest of the world, to put a distance between himself and his middle-class family, and to enjoy the sexual freedom of the most exciting European city.

    The Onyx Review: The Interdisciplinary Research Journal © 2016 Center for Writing and Speaking 2016, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 15–23 Agnes Scott College “Berlin Meant Boys”: Christopher Isherwood in Weimar Germany’s Gay Culture Zoë C. Howard Agnes Scott College Our collective memory of Germany in the 1920s and 1930s focuses on Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and leaves little room for much else; thus, we have overlooked—or passed over—one of the most incredible cultural scenes to have existed during this period in not just Germany, but also in history: Berlin’s extensive and internationally known gay culture. This paper examines and analyzes Berlin’s vibrant and thriving gay culture through the renowned British novelist Christopher Isherwood’s experience in Berlin and how his participation in this internationally known hub of social and sexual freedom changed his writing and boosted his self-confidence and self-esteem. This research explores the economic, social, and political conditions in which this culture was able to form in Berlin, the exact nature of the gay scene in the city, and Christopher Isherwood’s background and experience in this liberated culture and how it influenced him. In researching this largely unknown culture, this paper will contribute to the relatively small body of work on this subject and help bring awareness to this culture’s importance and its legacy through Isherwood’s writings, especially in a time that is still struggling with LGBTQ rights. ermany in the 1920s and early was a country squire. 1 Isherwood did not 1930s is usually associated with have a close relationship with his parents, so G the rise of Adolf Hitler.
