Abstract

Guided by Peter Szondi’s book, but adopting an openly Brechtian
view, this essay examines plays by Ibsen, Tchekhov, Strindberg,
Hauptmann, Ernst Toller and others, and aims to show how Brecht has resolved, in the realm of procedures of the epic genre, the crisis established by Ibsen in the form of drama.
