Summary "The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Volume 09" by Francke et al. is a collection of notable German literary works translated into English, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This volume includes dramatic works from key playwrights such as Friedrich Hebbel and Otto Ludwig, showcasing their contributions to German literature and theater. The compilation aims to illuminate the evolution of German drama during a significant cultural period, focusing on themes of conflict, morality, and the human condition. The opening of this volume presents a rich introduction to the life and works of Friedrich Hebbel, one of the prominent dramatists of the 19th century, emphasizing his struggles, influences, and significant output. It details Hebbel’s challenging childhood, his journey through education and career, and his gradual recognition in the literary world. The narrative illustrates not only his personal hardships but also his philosophical reflections on existence, society, and morality, setting the stage for deeper engagement with his plays, such as "Maria Magdalena," which soon follows in the text. This opening portion serves as a compelling entry point into Hebbel's complex world, providing readers with essential context for understanding his dramatic works and themes.
