More About This Title Heinrich von Kleist: Selected Writings

English

This selection contains all of Kleist's stories, including the notorious Marquise von O and the almost novel-length Michael Kohlaas, as well as three of his plays—The Broken Jug, Amphitryon, and Prince Friedrich of Homburg—and a selection of anecdotes and letters. Much of Kleist's effect is produced by his highly idiosyncratic and expressive syntax and language, and David Constantine's translation brilliantly reproduces his strangeness in English.
