{"product_id":"marriage-and-divorce-in-the-karl-leydecker-9783631500194","title":"Marriage and Divorce in the Plays of Hermann Sudermann","description":"This study investigates Sudermann's plays from a socio-historical and literary-historical perspective. His plays are a response to a crisis of marriage. That crisis had its roots in the Romantic period and came to a head when the conservative \u003ci\u003eBürgerliches Gesetzbuch\u003c\/i\u003e was introduced in 1900. Of particular significance is \u003ci\u003eEs lebe das Leben\u003c\/i\u003e (1902). The manuscripts of this play reveal that here Sudermann moved from a Realist treatment of marital difficulties to an exploration of the crisis of the realist literary system and a search for a Modernist treatment of divorce. His plays on marriage, divorce, courtship and the problems of single men and women constitute a sustained attempt to modify or at times radically to challenge the presentation of marriage in the Realist literary system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Leydecker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 363150019X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631500194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Karl Leydecker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519799144703,"sku":"9783631500194","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_703271de-b9d2-42df-b374-0de24fac2351.jpg?v=1778738883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marriage-and-divorce-in-the-karl-leydecker-9783631500194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
