About the Author
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729 081) was an influential playwright and theare critic whose plays were among the first important works written for the German stage. He steered German drama away from the influence of French Classical tragedy towards the strengths of Shakespeare and the English dramatic tradition. His plays set a pattern to be followed by subsequent qriters of the Golden Age of German theatre such as Goethe and Schiller.
