Danton's Death by Georg Büchner
Manage episode 358172233 series 2901666
Sasha Warren of the Unsound Mind blog returns to the Unseen Book Club to talk with about the life and work of revolutionary, proto-communist German playwright Georg Büchner (1813 - 1837). Büchner’s sparse writings were influential in the development of German modernist literature and socialism, mixing Hegelian materialism with biting satire and intimate psychological portrayals of political actors and working class characters.
We focus on his first play, Danton’s Death, about the famed trial and execution of Georges Danton during the French Revolution. We talk about Büchner’s revolutionary political work with the Young Germany movement and its contextual influence on Karl Marx, youthful angst and obsession, the French Revolution as a model of political struggles, and the madness of history.
