Description

Book Synopsis
Examines the interplay of history, textuality, dramaturgy, and politics in the school dramas of Daniel Casper von Lohenstein (1635-1683). The plays are based on well-known episodes from classical Roman history and were staged in Breslau by students at two all-male humanistic gymnasia.

Trade Review
Newman expertly guides the reader through the maze of seventeenth-century scholarly commentary, uncovering alternative readings as well as daring interventions in order to decode the manifold meanings encoded in Lohenstein's work. Drawing on a vast wealth of materials, including dramas in other languages, she has achieved what no other philologist of Lohenstein has before. In short, this book is a most original contribution that ought to be of interest to a vast number of scholars outside German literature." - Journal of English and Germanic Philology
