Produced by Anne Soulard, Tiffany Vergon and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature" by August Wilhelm von Schlegel is a scholarly work that compiles a series of lectures on the nature of dramatic poetry and its historical evolution, likely written in the early 19th century. This critical text offers insights into the distinctions between ancient and modern dramatic forms, examining various dramatic traditions from Greeks to Romantic poets, while engaging deeply with the principles of criticism, aesthetics, and the artistic spirit inherent in the theatre. The opening of the book introduces the author’s thoughts on the value of literature and reflects on the transformative power of reading. Schlegel posits that literature allows individuals to connect with the most profound thoughts and insights of humanity across time and geography. He outlines his intention to explore the essence of dramatic art, including discussions of tragedy and comedy, and the contrasts between classical and romantic literature. The early passages hint at the structural complexity of the lectures to follow, setting the stage for an analytical journey through the various genres and styles of drama, as well as their cultural significance.
