The Genesis of Schnitzler's Das Weite Land
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2020
Extract
Schnitzler's early dramas from Anatol (1889) to Der Schleier der Beatrice (1899) deal largely with problems of love as seen through the eyes of philandering youth. His dramas after the turn of the century treat problems of married life as these confront middle-aged people. The most important of the latter dramas are: Der einsame Weg (1903), Zwischenspiel (1904), and Das weite Land (1910). The last named play was begun in 1902 and underwent radical transformations before its appearance eight years later. A study of its genesis ought to shed important light upon the final published version.
