Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most independent thinkers in German intellectual history, the Enlightenment author Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) contributed in decisive and lasting fashion to literature, philosophy, theology, criticism, and drama theory. Lessing invented the brgerliches Trauerspiel (bourgeois tragedy) and wrote one of the first successful German tragedies as well as one of the finest German comedies. In his final dramatic masterpiece, Nathan der Weise, he writes of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, of religious tolerance and intolerance and the clash of civilizations. Lessing's dramas are the oldest German theater pieces still regularly performed (both in Germany and internationally), and both his plays and his drama theory have influenced such writers as Goethe, Schiller, Hebbel, Hauptmann, Ibsen, Strindberg, Schnitzler, and Brecht. Addressing an audience ranging from graduate students to seasoned scholars, this volume introduces Lessing's life and times and places him within the broader context of the European Enlightenment. It discusses his pathbreaking dramas, his equally revolutionary theoretical, critical, and aesthetic writings, his original fables, his innovative work in philosophy and theology, and his significant contributions to Jewish emancipation. The volume concludes by examining 20th-century reception of Lessing and his oeuvre. Contributors: Barbara Fischer, Thomas C. Fox, Steven D. Martinson, Klaus L. Berghahn, John Pizer, Beate Allert, H.

This valuable work will therefore soon be accessible to the English student. While treating of Lessing's writings, I have kept in memory his own caution, that one must not exhaust one's author; and while treating of his life, I have endeavoured to remember that I am not writing for a German public, and have consequently omitted or touched lightly upon various minute matters unlikely to interest English readers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Works of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Vol. 1: From the German To the cultivators of German literature Lessing needs no introduction, so entirely is he identified with its res toration and growth in what may be called its second classical period. His career begins precisely in the middle of the last century, and extends over thirty years of incessant activity and warfare against the meanness and barbarism into which German letters were then sunk. Indeed, at that time Germany had no national literature. The heroic songs of the Nibelungen and the sentimental lays of the Minnesingers were forgotten, or known only to be despised. From the era of the Reformation, poetry ceased to be national, and became servilely and drearily imitative. Even Opitz, in his famous Baa/z van der teatsclzen Poeterey presented to his countrymen little more than a compilation of maxims drawn from foreign models, which he declared it impossible to sur pass. Critics like Bodmer and Breitinger, and poets like Von Haller and Gellert, had made honest and patri otic efforts to resist the prevalent Gallomania; but their opposition was radically feeble, and also too remote to effect much against the powerful influence of Gottsched.
