Description

The intense preoccupation in the latter half of eighteenth-century Germany with aesthetic phenomena coincided with a period of great productivity and the coming of age of a new national German culture. There is hardly any writer from Lessing to the romantics who has not reflected on literature, the arts in general, their social functions, and on then dominant traditions and conventions. The volume focuses on theoretical pronouncements of Lessing, J.M.R. Lenz, K. Ph. Moritz, Wilhelm Heinse, Herder, Lessing, Diderot, Jean Paul, Schiller, Wilhelm von Humboldt, and Goethe.
