The contributors to this volume treat fourteen plays of key
significance in the history of German literature and show the way
in which each dramatist has engaged with important social and
theatrical issues of the age. Essays range from that on Lessing's
Nathan der Weise (a key text in the history of 'tolerance' in
Germany) to Jelinek's Krankheit oder moderne Frauen (a critique of
theatrical representation, gender roles and the authority of the
text), that is, from German classicism to the contemporary
avant-garde. Each major movement in German literary history is
represented, and the volume as a whole thus provides a partial
history of German drama. The essays, all by specialists in the
field, were originally delivered as lectures in the University of
Cambridge.
