Before Daybreak, the first important drama of German naturalism, was also the first play of Gerhart Hauptmann, the most significant naturalist of the theater. This translation by Peter Bauland (originally published in 1978) is the first colloquially convincing English version that captures the several levels of diction in this seminal modern drama. It is preceded by a critical introduction by the translator which places the play in historical context and discusses its form and content.

Excerpt from The Coming of Peace: A Family CatastropheA few words about the author of Friedensfest, which is here translated as The Coming of Peace, will possibly be of interest to readers. Gerhart Hauptmann, who is still a comparatively young man, is as yet little known to English readers, and wholly unknown to English play goers, except for the performance of this play under the auspices of the Stage Society on the 1 oth of June 1 900, which has given occasion for this translation. In German speaking countries he is recognised by many as the greatest modern dramatist with the single exception of Henrik Ibsen.He is certainly the only dramatist who, writing under the inspiration of the great Norwegian poet, can by any remotest possibility be considered to have advanced a step beyond his master in dramatic treatment of the inner social forces of mod em life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
