The Elusive Transcendent: The Role of Religion in the Plays of Frank WedekindP. Lang, 2002 - 204 หน้า Frank Wedekind's work was profoundly influenced by the religious and philosophical ideas of the nineteenth century. Detailed analysis of his unpublished notebooks and major plays shows how his characters transgress moral boundaries in a doomed quest to find transcendent value. In his later plays he deliberately blurs the distinction between art and reality, as his pseudo-autobiographical protagonists become secularized, redeeming sacrifices that enable bourgeois life to continue.
