'Meticulously edited ... In her informative and very readable introductory essays, Kord traces Ebner-Eschenbach's development and reception as a dramatist, and presents the individual plays in an engaging manner.' -- Ulrike Tanzer, Austrian Studies 14, 2006, 354-56 'A welcome addition, making accessible some of the lesser-known dramas in a helpfully annotated format, and shed[ding] fresh light on E-E.' -- Barbara Burns, The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies 66, 2007'These important editions of little-known dramas by the Austrian author Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) are vital for anyone who wants to research and teach beyond the canon. They are the result of arduous editorial work and are meticulously annotated by Susanne Kord ... These volumes are likely to provoke much future research on Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach; they provide stimulating analyses of the texts and detailed notes and bibliographies. In addition, they are such good value that they can be easily included on undergraduate reading-lists.' -- Charlotte Woodford, Modern Language Review 102, 2007, 1182-84
