Description
The three plays in this volume illustrate Kleist's genius and versatility. Includes: "Prince Friedrich von Homburg, " a tautly plotted clash of love, honor, and obedience to State; "The Broken Pitcher", which one him acclaim for his crisp dialogue and robust humor; and "Ordeal by Fire", the most colorful, atmospheric play of its time to have a female protagonist.
