Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare´s Influence Upon Grabbe Shakespeare´s influence upon a German dramatist is not a new theme. From the earliest production of Shakespeare in Germany by the English Comedians, during the poet´s life, down to the present time he has been a guiding star of the German drama. He was the model for the first attempt at dramatization in the modem conception of the drama; he was the model whom Lessing followed to a very large extent in laying the foundation of the German drama; he was the inspiration to Goethe and Schiller in their early dramatic attempts; he was the watchword of the Storm and Stress; through the Schlegels and Tieck he became a part of German literature; and future investigation will show how great a debt the drama of the nineteenth century owes to him. The first dramatic author of Germany in whom we can see the influence of Shakespeare is Herzog Heinrich Julius von Braunschweig (1563-1613), who was one of the first to maintain a regular theatre at his court. This influence was exerted upon the Duke through the so-called "Englisehe Comodianten". Albert Cohn sees a very close connection between three of the Duke´s dramas and Shakespeare. Cohn thinks the connection of the Wolfenbüttel with the old English stage becomes very manifest from the general coloring of the Duke´s pieces, as, for instance, the "Tragoedia von einem ungerathnen Sohn." Here he is reminded of Titus Andronicus, and in the later developments of the play of Macbeth, Richard the Second and Cymheline. There is a still closer connection in the Duke´s Comoedia von Vincentio Ladislao. It, according to Cohn, contains the rough prototype of Benedick in Much Ado about Nothing. Still more closely connected with Shakespeare is the Duke´s Tragoedia von einer Ehebrechin, the plot of which agrees entirely with that of the Merry Wives of Windsor. There were English Comedians at the court of Landgraf Moriz von Hessen at the same time as at the Court of Herzog von Braunschweig. The Landgraf is credited with a number of original plays, but none has been preserved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
