This work assembles all of the expressionist's published essays on the theatre and includes his general moral tract "Verantworthch". It includes the two-volume "Die Befreiung der Buhnenkunst" analyzing the tasks of a director of theatre communities and more on Schreyer's productions.
Includes a mix of Schreyer's personal documents ranging from essays, quotations, reminiscences, extracts from diaries at the end of the Second World War, and denazification to an autobiographical text, reflections on art and artists, aphorisms, his spiritual testament, and a short obituary.
This edited volume by Dr. Keith-Smith of Lothar Schreyer is probably his most read publication. As the proof editor of Der Sturm and as 'Meister der Form' teaching drama for two years at the Weimar Bauhaus, Schreyer was ideally placed to distinguish behind every name the human individual, to reveal complex communities, and highlight their ...
This previously unpublished novel, rediscovered by the author's son, is a compelling account of the conflicts between city and church authorities in a 15th-century Italian state. The story also highlights the fate of an illegitimate girl born inside a convent, the grotesque behavior of a power-crazed abbess, the lack of confidence of the local ...
In the introduction, the editor analyses several of Schreyer's cycles of poetry, including early works close to the traditions of 'Jugendstil' (art nouveau), religious cycles, and the long series of prose-poems Die menschliche Elegie that Schreyer recited in public after 1945. The texts are arranged as far as possible chronologically into ...
Lothar Schreyer's first novel, "Der Falkenschrei", was published by Anton Pustet Verlag in 1940. It is the story of Friedrich von Hohenstaufen, Imperial Emperor in the 13th century, which has fascinated generations of Germans. Schreyer's influence lay in the ambivalence of this international figure of power and his attempts to set up a new world ...
This collection in German includes 29 previously unpublished texts in mainly narrative prose, ranging from an art nouveau love story to Schreyer's first attempt to evoke a major historical figure, to single page meditations and short stories.
This work is subtitled as a "trial", its main scenes recounting the two trials of the Christian schoolgirl Agnes whose lover Claudius, the son of the highest judge in ancient Rome, has her arrested nominally as a would-be terrorist sympathizer, in fact because she refuses his advances.
This work can be read as a sequel to "Der Falkenschrei" (Vol 4). In the introduction, the editor summarizes literary versions of the Konradin legend and analyzes the text to reveal the underlying themes and betrayal that governed the fate of this grandson of the Hohenstaufen Emperor Friedrich II.
Lothar Schreyer wrote several hundred essays mainly on the theatre, the history and theory of art, and on religious faith. This volume includes his manifesto-style pieces for the right-wing periodical "Deutsches Volkstrum" until Schreyer became a head publisher's reader in Hamburg in 1928.
This previously unpublished work by the Expressionist Lothar Schreyer was written during the Second World War and is an example of literature of `inner emigration'. It was written as one of his spiritual exercises as a lay novice of the Abbey of Maria Laach. It is published as Volume 1 of the new Lothar Schreyer edition and includes a long general ...
The twelve texts in this book include introductions and texts that show the writer's developing understanding of his faith, and reveal a process of active commitment and searching independence characteristic of Schreyer's life and style. This work will interest Christian artists, catechetists, clergy and laypeople, and it presents for the first ...
This illustrated title in German contains texts on cathedrals such as Bamberg and Naumburg and one on German Romanesque architecture, as well as essays on the use of colour, glass and concrete, especially in modern buildings.
Lothar Schreyer's dramas from the expressionist periodical "Der Sturm" are collected in this anthology, together with 12 previously unpublished earlier works and 11 later dramas.
