Excerpt from The Soliloquy in German Drama In the family of dramatic conventions no member has played so important a role, and on the other hand none has had so ignominious an ending, after a most glorious career, as the soliloquy. In its present crushed and lowly estate, it forcibly reminds one of the last years of the great exile at St. Helena. After centuries of the greatest popularity with both playwright and audience, the soliloquy has at last met with the fate of most popular idols and been ruthlessly ousted from its comfortable throne.

Excerpt from The Soliloquy in German Drama In the family of dramatic conventions no member has played so important a role, and on the other hand none has had so ignominious an ending, after a most glorious career, as the soliloquy. In its present crushed and lowly estate, it forcibly reminds one of the last years of the great exile at St. Helena. After centuries of the greatest popularity with both playwright and audience, the soliloquy has at last met with the fate of most popular idols and been ruthlessly ousted from its comfortable throne. This revulsion of feeling occurred in the final decades of the nineteenth century, when "the leading playwrights of every modern language began to display a distaste for the monolog, with Ibsen setting the example of renunciation." There seems to be a consensus of opinion regarding Ibsen's stimulating influence on the technic of modern drama, an influence which manifested itself particularly in the disappearance of the soliloquy from the drama. Mr. Hamilton says: "The present prevalence of objection to soliloquy and aside is due largely to the strong influence of Ibsen's rigid dramaturgic structure." Mr. Henderson, commenting upon Ibsen's remark that his "League of Youth" is written "without a single monolog, in fact, without a single aside," declares: "In this respect, I believe Ibsen sounded the deathknell of the monolog, the soliloquy, the aside, and by his practice soon rendered ridiculous those dramatists who persisted in employing these devices."

This historical and critical survey of German drama in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries provides an introduction to major authors and works from Lessing, through Goethe, Schiller and Weimar Classicism, to Kleist, Grillparzer and Hebbel. F.J. Lamport traces the rise and development in the German-speaking world of the last form of "classical" poetic drama to appear in European literature. This development is seen as reflecting the intellectual and political ferment both within Germany and throughout Europe.

The extensive scope of this collection means that this documentary record of the reception of German literature in England is a valuable scholarly resource. One of the most important features of British literary and intellectual history over the past 250 years is the influence of German literature. From the second half of the 18th Century, through the first decades of the 19th, German books and ideas attracted, then gained the attention of a nation. Despite the acknowledged importance of the influence on writers such as Coleridge and Carlyle the subject, though often alluded to, was rarely studied. This collection provides a guidebook through the masses of periodical and allows the English side of the Anglo-German literary relationship to be explored in detail. In order to make the collection useful to scholars with a wide range of interest, it has been divided into three parts: Part 1 is a chronological presentation of commentary on German literature in general. It also contains collective reviews of multiple German authors, notices of important anthologies and reactions to influential works about Germany and its culture. Part 2 collects reviews of 18th Century individual German authors and Part 3 is devoted to the English reception of Goethe and Schiller. Parts 2 & 3 contain cross-references to the collective reviews of Part 1. Containing over 200 British serials and articles and reviews from all the major English literary periodicals, the collection also includes a broad sampling of opinion from the more general magazines, including some popular religious publications.
