Die Rezeption von Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen: Pressespiegel und andere zeitgenöessische Kommentare Herausgegeben von Gerd K. Schneider

Arthur Schnitzler's play Reigen, written in 1896-1897, has remained a problematic work from the time of its public presentation. This detailed study by Gerd Schneider traces the reception of this extraordinary dramatic work — one of Schnitzler's finest achievements — in Austria, Germany and the United States. From the first the play aroused such opposition that Schnitzler banned all further performances. His son released the play in 1982. This study also covers the six major film versions. The history of the reception of Reigen serves as a cultural-historical document of the period from 1897 to the present.
