First modern study of Johann Christoph Gottsched, the influential
German dramatist and critic. Johann Christoph Gottsched was one of
the most important figures in eighteenth century German history. He
established a standard for German poetics; wrote important plays
for the German theatre in its infancy; and was the author of the
first standard reference works on German rhetoric and grammar, the
latter of which helped to found a literary language. However, his
fame, particularly as a dramatist, was eclipsed by the devastating
criticism of G.E. Lessing later in the century, and he suffered by
comparison to later artists such as Lessing himself, Friedrich
Nicolai, and Mendelssohn. This monograph, the first modern study of
Gottsched, examines his achievements in a variety of fields.
