This historical and critical survey of the great tradition of German drama in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, provides an introduction to the major authors and works from Lessing, through Goethe, Schiller, and Weimar classicism, to Kleist, Grillparzer, and Hebbel. The development of German classical drama is seen as reflecting the intellectual and political ferment of its age: the great flowering of German philosophical thought, the rising aspirations of Germans to national unity, and the waves of revolution and counter-revolution which mark the European history of the period.
Industry Reviews
' ... an excellent introduction'. The German Quarterly 'A comprehensive and lucidly-written guide ... With its careful mix of historical survey and analyses of individual works, this is a most valuable introduction for the student of the period covered, and should also be required reading for those who prefer to study more modern dramatic literature.'
