NTQ Checklist No. 2: Ödön von Horvath

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 January 2009

Abstract

Despite the successful production of Ödön von Horvath's Tales from the Vienna Woods, in the translation by Christopher Hampton at the National Theatre in 1977. the work of this inter-war contemporary of Brecht's remains little known in the English-speaking theatre. James L. Rosenberg. Professor of Drama at Carnegie-Mellon University. Pittsburgh, is himself a professional playwright who has translated some of Horvath's work previously unavailable in English. In an illuminating biographical and critical introduction to this checklist, he both outlines the reasons for our ignorance of Horvath, and suggests aspects of his undervalued importance. The subsequent checklist provides a succinct outline of the original productions of Horvath's plays and of the publication of his novels, plus a selective guide to available critical writing in English and German.
