Joe_F Folklore: Beggars opera vs. Threepenny opera (28) RE: Folklore: Beggars opera vs. Threepenny opera 13 Feb 17

Brecht adapted -- not plagiarized -- The Beggar's Opera. But within Die Dreigroschenoper, he did plagiarize Kipling and Villon. When called on it, he retorted that as a communist he did not believe in private property.

I am grateful to curmudgeon for mentioning Burns's cantata, which surely belongs in the canon of epater le bourgeois.
