Informationen zum Autor Else Lasker-Schuler (1869-1945) was the daughter of a well-to-do Jewish banker and builder, Else Schuler gave up her bourgeois existence as a doctor's wife for the artistic, social, and political uncertainties that would characterize the rest of her life. The death of her beloved son in 1927 also marked the beginning of Lasker-Schuler's years of tragedy, loss, and dislocation, culminating in her flight from Nazi Germany to Switzerland and then Jerusalem, where she ended her days as an eccentric pauper. Jane Curtis is a teacher, translator, and free-lance musician. She lives in Springfield, Virginia. Inca Molina Rumold is associate professor of German and comparative literature at DePaul University in Chicago." Klappentext Famous for her poetry and infamous for her bohemian lifestyle! as well as her association with political radicals! Else Lasker-Schuler (1869-1945) is only now returning to just renown as one of the few women writers within the Expressionist movement of the early twentieth century. These plays--"Dark River! Arthur Aronymus and His Ancestors! "and "I and I"--put Lasker-Schuler on a par with Brecht in her day.
