Description
Understanding Brecht by Walter Benjamin is a seminal collection of essays that explores the radical aesthetic and political innovations of German playwright Bertolt Brecht. Written during the 1930s and early 1940s, Benjamin’s analysis delves into Brecht’s epic theatre, his use of the “Verfremdungseffekt” (alienation effect), and his commitment to provoking critical reflection in audiences rather than passive consumption. Benjamin situates Brecht's work within the broader context of Marxist theory, examining how Brecht reimagined the function of art in a time of social upheaval and ideological struggle.
