Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 5 The second group of Hauptmann´s Symbolic and Legendary Dramas gains unity by a recognisable oneness of inspiration. The poet has become a seeker; he questions the nature and quality of various ultimate values; he abandons the field of the personal and individual life and "sends his soul into the infinite." A number of passages, characters and actions in both The Sunken Bell and Henry of Auë stand out more memorably and massively than anything in these later plays. It may be fairly argued, however, that Hauptmann has never shown himself more truly a poet who partakes of the central traditions of European literature than in Schluck and Jau (1899)and in And Pippa Dances (1906). Those traditions are most clearly followed in Schluck and Jau. Not only had Calderon and Grillparzer written plays on the subject of Life a Dream, but there blends with that subject in Hauptmann splay the great, sad mood which the Renaissance summed up by the word Mutability. Not, perhaps, since Shakespeare himself, has any poet expressed that mood so clearly as Hauptmann in the last description of the sorry Jau back in his ditch.
