PROBLEM OF THE INTERPRETATION OF LESSING'S PLAY "PHILOTAS." (GERMANY)
- Date Issued:
- 1972
- Summary:
- The divergent interpretations of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's play Philotas are considered in this thesis. A textual analysis demonstrates that the play is not, as contended by some, a glorification of patriotism but rather an expression of Lessing's humane ideals. It is thereby shown that the play, which seems to have been intended by Lessing as a n experimental drama, deserves its proper place among his works.
