The Younger Generation in Brecht's Dramatic Work

While it is well-known that Bertolt Brecht made substantial contributions to "Children's Literature" and that young characters appear frequently in his literary oeuvre, it has not been sufficiently noticed that major conflicts in Brecht's dramatic work, commonly identified as class conflict, develop along generational lines. It is the purpose of this study to trace such generational constellations through several stages of Brecht's creative development, and to discuss recurrences, variations, and shifts in his portrayal of youthful figures, their circumstances, their plights, and their prospects.
