Excerpt from Selected Prose Works of G. E. Lessing
Though there is no writer whose works may be more advantageously studied as a whole than Lessing's, there are few of equal importance who are known in this country in so partial and fragmentary a manner. Various translations of 'Nathan der Weise' and 'Minna von Barnhelm' have, it is true, exhibited him fairly enough as a dramatist of pure style, refined humour, and liberal thought; at the same time another class of readers has had more than one opportunity of studying the treatise on the 'Laokoon,' and admiring his vigorous and suggestive style of criticism and wide scholarship, which must always give it a literary interest whatever substantial value may be assigned to it. But such an acquaintance with isolated pieces hardly allows a reader to estimate their real value, and still less does it afford him an opportunity of co-ordinating the positions of Lessing the dramatist and Lessing the critic, and forming any definite notion of his true place in literary history. To do so demands in any case some general knowledge of German literature, but whilst Goethe and Schiller have become duly appreciated in this country, their great precursor has, amongst general readers, been little more than a name to those who were even so far acquainted with him.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a seminal treatise, is a masterclass in the distinctions between the plastic arts and poetry. Published in the 18th century, it is the product of the author's deep engagement with ancient Greek literature, sculpture, and aesthetics, examining how each art form achieves its goals, and the unique possibilities and limitations of each medium. The author, delving into a wealth of examples from Greek culture and literature, argues that the plastic arts and poetry serve distinct purposes and have different expressive capacities. Using the famous sculpture Laocoà n and its depiction of physical suffering as a focal point, the author illustrates how artists and poets approach the representation of emotion and pain in fundamentally different ways. This book explores the subtle interplay between aesthetics, culture, and artistic interpretation, offering a profound insight into the nature of artistic creation that remains relevant for contemporary thinkers. It encourages critical engagement with these art forms and enhances our appreciation of their distinct expressive powers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330176924_0
