In contrast to most of present studies valuing the significance of Johann Elias Schlegel’s works in the history of 18th century drama by considering him as a pioneer of Sturm und Drang or Weimarer Klassik, this compendium offers a new approach: The bywords ‘Reform’ and ‘Revision’ tend to interpret Schlegel’s path-breaking innovations in the context of contemporary concepts of European drama.
