After an interval of over 100 years, this is a new
historical-critical edition of the tragedy -Emilia Galotti- by
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781), a work of significance in the
history of the German language. It is based on the first edition of
1772 and is the first to contain an in-depth analysis of all
manuscripts and printed editions. This analysis extends to the
manuscript for the original printed edition, which was discovered
as recently as 1948 and is important for the genesis of the text.
The edition provides new insights into the history of the work's
origination and impact and also assembles over 500 documents on the
contemporary reception accorded to it."
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
Originally published in 1766, the "Laocoon" has been called the
first modern attempt to define the distinctive spheres of art and
poetry, and its author, Lessing, the first modern esthetician.
Lessing invented the modern concept of the artistic medium and
modernist assumptions of the uniqueness of the individual arts. A
new Foreword by Michael Fried emphasizes Lessing's current
importance regarding trends in art history and literary theory.
