Beschreibung

Bentley's original translation of Bertolt Brecht's "The Measures Taken" in manuscript form; preceding, the first publication, by ten years. This version of the text was made specifically for the House Un-American Activities Committee for use when interrogating both Bertolt Brecht and Hanns Eisler. Eric Bentley published two translations of Die Maà nahme, as The Measures Taken. The two different translations corresponded to two different German versions of the text. The first appeared in the Bentley edited collection of plays The Modern Theatre volume 6 (New York, 1960.) The second was published in a Grove Press collection of Brecht plays The Jewish Wife and Other Short Plays (New York, 1967.) Bentley also made verse translations to be sung for selected pieces from Die Maà nahme as sheet music to directly correspond to the Eisler score in The Brecht-Eisler Songbook, published by Oak Publications (New York, 1967.) Former Bard College Library withdrawn with the "withdrawn" stamp. Original manuscript mimeographed typed on onion skin paper and held by cardboard folder. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 514p
