Synopsis

The book ""The German Woman in the Age of Enlightenment: A Study in the Drama from Gottsched to Lessing"" by S. Etta Schreiber is a comprehensive study of the portrayal of women in German drama during the Enlightenment period. The author examines the works of prominent playwrights such as Johann Christoph Gottsched and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and analyzes the ways in which they depicted female characters.Schreiber argues that the Enlightenment saw a shift in the way women were portrayed in drama, with female characters becoming more complex and multi-dimensional. She explores the various roles that women played in these plays, including wives, mothers, daughters, and lovers, and examines the ways in which their relationships with men were portrayed.The book also examines the social and historical context in which these plays were written, and how they reflected the changing attitudes towards women during the Enlightenment. Schreiber argues that these plays were not only a reflection of society, but also played a role in shaping public opinion and attitudes towards women.Overall, ""The German Woman in the Age of Enlightenment"" provides a fascinating insight into the portrayal of women in German drama during a period of significant social and cultural change. It will be of interest to scholars and students of literature, history, and women's studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
