Lothar Schreyer's dramas from the expressionist periodical "Der Sturm" are collected in this anthology, together with 12 previously unpublished earlier works and 11 later dramas. The full extent of Schreyer's development as a dramatist is shown from his use of derivative forms, including ancient myth, the Narcissus theme, naturalism and farce, through his experiments in expressionist language, to his later religious works.
