This study documents the collegial relationship between the two authors - in part with previously unpublished archival material -, analyses their respective treatments of Molière's comedies and places this in the context of Molière's reception in the German-speaking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 Molière's constellations of comedic figures - a modern critical re-appraisal of the traditional comedic type character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615007457431,"sku":"9783631457986","price":6001.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783631457986.webp?v=1775097769","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-german-moliere-revival-and-the-comedies-of-hugo-von-hofmannsthal-and-carl-sternheim-foreword-by-d-a-joyce-9783631457986","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
