{"product_id":"lessing-and-the-consequences-robert-vellusig-9783662718728","title":"Lessing and the Consequences","description":"The history of modern German drama begins with Lessing. However, he is regarded as an author who stands at a threshold, paving the way for Weimar Classicism without walking it himself. Lessing is the 'pre-classicist' of German literature, praised and appropriated as a fighter for the nation and the bourgeoisie, for truth and tolerance. Robert Vellusig traces Lessing's influence on German culture and literature, with all its misunderstandings, in contrast to his multifaceted oeuvre and portrays him as a pastor's son turned poet, a genius of criticism, an intellectual well versed in public debates, and an outstanding representative of Enlightenment in the truest sense of the word. This book is a translation of the original German edition \u003cem\u003eLessing und die Folgen \u003c\/em\u003eby Robert Vellusig, published by J.B. Metzler, part of Springer Nature, in 2023. The translation was done by artificial intelligence (machine translation), revised by Sophie Hollwöger in collaboration with the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Vellusig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3662718723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783662718728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Robert Vellusig","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241928438015,"sku":"9783662718728","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4cf9fbb-4578-498b-9f8e-313557a8051d.jpg?v=1772656617","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lessing-and-the-consequences-robert-vellusig-9783662718728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
