Author Biography: Gerald Gillespie

Book Synopsis

'Was German drama invented by Lessing? We have been given strong hints to the contrary by Hofmannsthal and Brecht, and more than hints by Walter Benjamin. Still, where was the evidence? In our own language, nowhere. This is what makes German Theater before 1750 important: what was terra incognita becomes New Found Land.' --Eric Bentley
