This study documents the collegial relationship between the two authors - in part with previously unpublished archival material -, analyses their respective treatments of Moliere's comedies and places this in the context of Moliere's reception in the German-speaking countries since the 17th century. What emerges is a new view of the comedies of Hofmannsthal and Sternheim, which sees both dramatists applying the same technique of countermodelling Moliere's constellations of comedic figures - a modern critical re-appraisal of the traditional comedic type character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Hofmannsthal and Sternheim: Fragmentary Chronology of a Collegial Relationship - Moliere's Reception in the German-speaking Countries before 1900 - Hofmannsthal and Moliere - Sternheim and Moliere - From Model to Counter-Model.","brand":"Peter Lang GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044160012631,"sku":"9783631457986","price":48.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631457986.jpg?v=1750960714","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/german-moliere-revival-and-the-comedies-of-hugo-von-hofmannsthal-and-carl-sternheim-9783631457986","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
