Lessings Nathan Der Weise: Edited, With Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessings Nathan Der Weise<br/><br/>The justification for a new edition of Nathan der Weise is a new method of treatment. Nathan der Weise has been edited and criticized, attacked and defended, for more than a century. During that time most of the facts regard ing it (together with a good many things that are not facts) have been stated. But it has seemed to the editor that in previous American editions not enough attention has been paid to the genesis of the play and to its interpretation as a piece of literature. Probably nobody would defend the use Of such a text as Nathan der Weise for the mere purpose Of exercising English-speaking students in the German tongue. It is included in collegiate courses in German be cause Of its literary value and its significance in the history Of German culture. It is not an easy work to comprehend. Some knowledge Of the philosophical movement of the eighteenth century, some familiarity with Lessing's life and his own religious development are essential to a thorough understanding Of its content alone. Its literary character istics Offer still other avenues of study.

This classic text explores critical methodologies developed during the Enlightenment, tracing them from their origins to their influence on German philosopher and poet, Lessing. The author effectively places Lessing within the broader literary context of his era, with a particular eye toward his unique contributions to the field of literary criticism.
