Beschreibung
Two of Wedekind's most seminal plays, Earth-Spirit. and Pandora's Box. both focus on the actions of the young heroine Lulu, who embodies both animal sensuality and waif-like innocence, as she escapes a life on the streets, receives a society education, marries, takes on various lovers, becomes a dancer in a revue, is imprisoned for murder and encounters Jack the Ripper. When Earth-Spirit. was premiered in Leipzig in 1898, Wedekind was vilified and persecuted for advocating unfeigned sexual pleasure and making his heroine a heartless whore. Death and Devil. and Castle Wetterstein. , the other plays that make up this volume, are essentially extensions of and complementary to the Lulu tragedies.
