This collection represents Schnitzler's dramatic work from 1886 to 1915 in the most accurate English translation available. Included are the popular "Roundelay" and "Anatol" (with additional scenes and an alternate ending), as well as the rarely translated works "Professor Bernhardi" and "Hour of Realizing". These performance translations offer new possibilities for bringing Schnitzler's oeuvre to the contemporary stage. Translated by William Cunningham and David Palmer.
