Thanks are given to Delphine Lettau for finding a huge collection of ancient German books in London "Der Hofmeister" by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz is a comedic play written in the late 18th century. The work revolves around the themes of private education and the intricacies of social status, as it follows the interactions among various characters including Herr von Berg, a major, his wife, their daughter Gustchen, and Läuffer, the titular Hofmeister (tutor). The narrative delves into the challenges faced by the characters in their quest for ideal education and social propriety. At the start of the play, we are introduced to a dramatic setting in Insterburg, Prussia, where Läuffer, the Hofmeister, expresses his frustrations about his precarious position and the expectations of those around him. Through conversations between the major and the secret counselor, the audience learns about the major’s hopes for his son’s education and future. Simultaneously, we see Gustchen, who is concerned about her feelings for Fritz von Berg, embroiled in a playful yet earnest exchange. The opening scenes effectively establish the comedic tone and character dynamics, setting the stage for a humorous exploration of the complications surrounding education, social rank, and romantic interests.
