David J. Shepherd and Nicholas E. Johnson take as their starting point Brecht's own diaries from the time, which offer a vivid picture of the young Brecht shuttling between Munich and the family home in Augsburg, surrounded by friends, torn between women, desperate for success, and all the while with 'David on the brain'. The analysis of Brecht's David, along with his notebooks and diaries, reveals significant connections between the reception of the Biblical David and one of Germany's most tumultuous cultural periods. Drawing on theatrical experiments conducted with an ensemble from Trinity College Dublin, this volume includes the first ever translation of the David fragments in English, an extensive discussion of the theatrical afterlife of David in the early twentieth century as well as new interdisciplinary insights into the early Brecht: a writer entranced by the biblical David and utterly committed to translating the biblical tradition into his own evolving theatrical idiom"-- Back cover. 500 $a Translated from the German. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [217]-226) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : Brecht's David fragments -- The David fragments in translation -- Brecht's David and the biblical David : Uriah, Bathsheba, Absalom and Jesse -- Brecht's David and the biblical David : Jonathan, Saul and David -- Brecht's David and other adaptations : Feuchtwanger, Zarek and Gide -- The David fragments in practice and performance -- Concluding reflections : after David. 600 10 $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956. $t David. 600 10 $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956 $v Diaries. 600 00 $a David, $c King of Israel. 600 17 $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031391 600 07 $a David, $c King of Israel $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00035586 630 00 $a Bible $x In literature. 630 07 $a Bible $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356024 650 7 $a Literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Diaries $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423794 655 7 $a German drama. $2 nli 700 1 $a Johnson, Nicholas E., $d 1981- $e author. 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Brecht, Bertolt, $d 1898-1956. $t David. $k Fragments. $l English $s (Shepherd and Johnson) 830 0 $a Scriptural traces ; $v 26. 830 0 $a Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament studies ; $v 699. 830 0 $a T & T Clark library of biblical studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A4F78B2FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
