Ludwig Tieck's "Puss-in-Boots" and theater of the absurd

Más información sobre el libro

This book focuses on the precursor role of Ludwig Tieck in the Romantic revolution in drama which is seen in his fantastic comedy Puss-in-Boots (1797), a precocious benign forerunner of theatre of the absurd. Tieck's contribution is examined in the light of key dramatists of several strands of modernism.
