Hamburgische Dramaturgie by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
"Hamburgische Dramaturgie" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a collection of essays and critiques on theater, likely written in the late 18th century. This work discusses the intricacies of playwriting and acting, emphasizing the importance of artistic integrity in theater, and serves as a critical exploration of both literature and performance, reflecting on contemporary theatrical practices in Hamburg and beyond. At the start of the work, Lessing introduces his intention to support the
newly established theater management in Hamburg, aiming to elevate the quality of theatrical works presented to the public. He critiques existing practices, emphasizing that theater should be a noble pursuit that reflects moral values and artistic excellence. The opening establishes a framework for his subsequent analyses of various plays and performances, addressing the need for deeper understanding and appreciation of drama as an art form while setting the stage for his critiques of specific theatrical works.
