The Complete Dramatic Works of
Gerhart Hauptmann
AUTHORISED EDITION
I T is generally conceded that Gerhart Hauptmann is the most notable dramatist of the present day. His work combines literary, psychological and dramatic interest in greater measure than that of any other contemporary writer, and the award of the Nobel prize in literature was a public recognition of his genius. An authorised translation of his dramas makes it possible at last for English people to study and enjoy Hauptmann. Excellent translations of a few plays had already been made, and these, by arrangement with the respective translators, will be adapted to the present edition; but new translations will be made whenever it seems necessary in order to maintain the highest standard. The editor of the edition is Professor Ludwig Lewisohn. He supplies a general introduction to Hauptmann’s works in Volume I, and a briefer introduction to each succeeding volume. The contents of the volumes are given on the next page.
