To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1756, an article in the " Theatralische Bibliothek", entitled "Ge- schichte der Englischen Schaubiihne", in which he completely extinguished Gottsched and his French imitators, and called the special attention of the public to Shakspeare, Beaumont, Fletcher, and Ben Jonson, great geniuses, he maintained, who had raised the theatre to what it then was. Nicolai had said, in the "Bibliothek der deutschen Wissenschaf- ten", whilst reviewing Gottsched's "Geschichte der deutschen drainati- schen D...ichtkunst", that "nobody" would deny Gottsched's influence on the German drama. Lessing took up the subject from the opposite point of view, in his " Literaturbriefe " ; and replied that he was this "Nobody", and that he denied the influence of Gottsched altogether. He even maintained that Gottsched had done more harm than good, by his criticisms. It was Lessing who said that, judging Shakspeare. Even by the standard models of the ancients, he was a much greater tragic poet than Corneille. After Sophocles' "Oedipus", he continued, no tragedies in the world had greater power over our passions than "Othello", "Lear", and "Hamlet".
