Product Description
Product Description
Playwright, socialist revolutionary, and political activist and organizer, Ernst Toller was one of the most celebrated German authors known to the English-speaking world from the 1920s to the Second World War. This biography presents Toller and his work in historical and literary context, from his birth into a German-Jewish family in the Polish part of the German Empire, through his political awakening in World War I to his political coming of age in the Bavarian Soviet Republic of 1918/19, as a result of which he served four years in prison. Dove goes on to show how Toller became on of the Weimar Republic's leading playwrights and an energetic early Cassandra, warning of the ride of fascism from the 1920s. Forced to leave Germany in 1933, he spent his exile years mainly in England, travelling to Soviet Russia and to the United States. He remained in the thick of exile activity, and continued writing plays until his death in may 1939.
