Wedekinds 'lulu' (Untersuchungen zur Deutschen Literaturgeschichte) (in German)
Ruth Florack
Synopsis "Wedekinds 'lulu' (Untersuchungen zur Deutschen Literaturgeschichte) (in German)"
The interpretation of the "Monstretragoedie", the first version of 'Lulu', opens up a completely new perspective on Frank Wedekind's (1864-1918) famous work. Recourse to hitherto undiscovered French sources and an examination of sexual discourse at the time it was written, reveal the long-suppressed text as a radically modern piece of theatre. In comparison with the "Monstretragoedie" the familiar plays "Erdgeist" and "Die Büchse der Pandora" - still misleadingly lumped together as the 'Lulu-Tragödie' and subjected here to consistent philological editorial analysis for the first time as separate entities - stand revealed as mere products of an enforced accomodation to audience tastes and censorship.
