Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zaab Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 46106 I I INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. Thefollowing explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page ($)''. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that die photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

The attempt to rectify the neglect is, I believe, both justified and timely; justified, because during the several seasons of its existence, the German-language theater in Cleveland achieved a degree of excellence that placed it on a par with any except New York's; timely, because the present Bicentennial period places additional emphasis on the cultural heritage of the United States. The first five chapters of this study present the creation, development, and demise of Cleveland's German-language theater by con­ sidering the historical period, the audiences involved, the reception of the performances, and the players themselves. Realizing that under standing and appreciation are best achieved through comparison, I have attempted throughout to contrast Cleveland’s German-language theater with the American theater and with Germany' s contemporary stage. Chapter six summarizes the repertoire of Cleveland's German theater in general and discusses four plays in particular. The four 2 were chosen as being representative of the plays presented during the period, and because of their general, importance for the German and American theater. Since these four plays are nearly unknown today, some space has been devoted to description as well as analysis. Chap­ ter seven, in reviewing the rise and fall of Cleveland's German- language theater, ventures to draw conclusions about audience tastes and attitudes. The final section then treats modern German drama in translation. In this chapter I have discussed the critical reception of the performances of nearly all the translated or adapted modern German plays produced in Cleveland since the First World War. The whole study covers a period of approximately 150 years, from the first theatrical activity in Cleveland in 1820 to the present. While only the more important periods, people, and plays have been selected for actual discussion, the appendix lists all the plays per­ formed during the three major periods of the German theater and most of the translated German plays performed this century in Cleveland. These lists are as complete as available information allowed. I have taken most of the information from the files of Cleveland’s German and English-language newspapers at the Cleveland Public Library and the Western Reserve Historical Society. Along with acquainting the reader with little-known play­ wrights and plays of German origin, this study also attempts to provide an insight into the German-Americans of Cleveland. The city has been a lively scene for German drama, for it was in the forefront in 19th century America in providing German ensembles and, on occasion, still provides German plays of distinction in translation.

  • Friedrich Schiller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Friedrich Schiller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Friedrich Schiller(10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/johann-wolfgang-von- goethe/">Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</a>. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. <b>Life</b> Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–96), and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß (1732–1802). They also had five daughters. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The family moved with him. Due to the high cost of living—especially the rent—the family moved to nearby Lorch.

Following the success of Ahnfrau, however, Grillparzer returns to a much more widespread use of Classical themes, motifs and vocabulary, especially in Sappho, Grillparzer's mood in the period 1816-21 was one of introversion and pessimism, and there is an emphasis on the vocabulary of quiet peace and withdrawal.

  • Ernst Toller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Ernst Toller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Ernst Toller(1 December 1893 – 22 May 1939) Ernst Toller was a left-wing German playwright, best known for his Expressionist plays and serving as President of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, for six days. <b>Biography</b> Ernst Toller was born in Samotschin, Poland, on 1st December 1893. His father was a successful Jewish wholesale merchant. He was schooled in Bromberg where depsite describing it as a "school of miseducation and militarization", he was able to begin his literary career with the publication of a number of articles in the local newspaper and then poetry. In 1914 Toller moved to France in order to study law at the University of Grenoble. However, within six months the onset of the First World War meant he had returned home and signed up for the German army. Within a year he was fighting on the front lines, but by 1916 he was taken ill, suffering from "physical exhaustion and a complete nervous breakdown". In January 1917, now lacking his initial enthusiasm for the war and instead shocked by the high level of carnage, he was discharged from the army. Following this, Toller moved to Munich to return to his studies at Heidelberg University. Here he became friends with sociologist Max Weber. In May 1917 the pair took part in the first "Lauensteiner conference", where they cordially disagreed about the course of the war. Whilst Weber argued for the continuation of the war, Toller favoured a negotiated peace.

I heard that ‘Hamlet’ was produced in Paris, but I am sure that I would not travel far to see a French ‘Hamlet.’ Germans can play Shakespeare because the spirit of the language is similar. Moreover, they possess the necessary weight and repose, and their translations of Shakespeare and other English plays are excellent (Modjeska 1910: 232).
