Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Drama, Vol. 11: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization; German Drama
At the end of the volume are given four plays, carefully selected and translated from the German drama. First is the Conscience of August Wil helm lffland, a powerful tragedy by one of the most successful of German dramatists. Next is Goethe's [pizzgem'a z'n Tam/2's, perhaps the most beautiful of all his dramas. Then comes the Obsiz'nacy of R. Benedix, a light piece, and one that brings forth in strong relief the genius of its author. The volume ends with the Egotz'st and pseudo-critic of August von Kotzebue, one of the most lively comedies of this still popular writer, whose plays, which once held the Berlin stage almost to the exclusion of all others, have, after a period of oblivion, been recently revived.[ontents.
