"Wolfgang Jeske's 'Bertolt Brecht's Poetics of the Novel' offers an in-depth analysis of Bertolt Brecht's novel drafts that emerged in the 1920s. Jeske examines Brecht's innovative approaches to the novel form and highlights how Brecht sought to avoid confining his subjects to traditional structures. The study focuses on key works such as 'The Threepenny Novel' and 'The Business Affairs of Mr. Julius Caesar.' Using materials from the Brecht Archive, it presents the history of creation and revisions, while thoroughly analyzing the influences of contemporary history and Brecht's theoretical demands on the novel. This comprehensive examination not only provides insights into Brecht's literary work but also into the development of modern novel poetics.".
