Sommario/riassunto |

John defines the Nachspiel genre and undertakes an intensive investigation of its nature, function, and forms. By surveying theatrical writings of both eighteenth- and twentieth-century authors, he determines the prevailing understanding of the Nachspiel and many of the contradictions associated with it. |
