Reviews for Religion in Contemporary German Drama
Crowe largely succeeds in reaching her objective of offering thought-provoking interpretations of religion in contemporary avant-gardist German-language theatre. In her analyses of religious elements in individual dramas, in particular, she provides models of thoughtful, well-researched commentary on the use of religion in literature in general, while taking full consideration of the context, the medium, and the audience.
