Abstract
Whereas in the Realist literary system (c.1850-1890) divorce was a taboo subject, in the 1890s the depiction of marriage crises and their resolution becomes a key topos in German drama. This article identifies a series ofconditions which allowed dramatists to present divorce in a positive light in their plays and sheds light on the transition between Realism and Modernism and on the relationship between literary history and social history during this period.
