Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessings Emilia Galotti: Edited With an Introduction and Notes by Max Winkler
Emllia galotti is, as regards its structure, the maturest dramatic production of Lessing. He worked upon it, off and ou, for fully fifteen years, carried it with him on all his travels, considered and reconsidered every detail, so that the drama in its final form is the product of his strongest critical and creative faculties. During these fifteen years he devoted his most serious study to the drama, and his vigorous and on the whole just attacks on the false dramatic principles then current in Germany, form one of the most heroic chapters in the literary his tory of that country. These attacks were not merely negative, but also established dramatic principles, most of which are as valid today as they were for Lessing's time. It is according to these principles, most fully expressed by Lessing in his $am burgifdx fibramaturgie, that we shall discuss and interpret his tragedy. He wrote it with the direct intention of giving to his nation a model drama, which was to exemplify in its general outlines as well as in its minutest details all the important dramatic laws for which he so zealously contended. It is his most carefully constructed work, and there is hardly a drama in the German language which requires such close attention to the smallest touches of the poet as Emilia Gialotti.
