| Abstract
|
:
|
This edition retains much that was in the original, and also introduces new voices and themes. The essays bring together the views of major critics and active practitioners. A calendar of Brecht's life and work and a selective biography of English criticism complete this overview of a writer who constantly aimed to provoke.
