Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Miss Sara Sampson
G.E. Lessing, often hailed as the world’s first dramaturg, was a pioneer of the German bourgeois tragedy. In Miss Sara Sampson, a compelling tale unfolds as a young woman finds herself entangled with a charming rogue still bound to his former mistress. This work serves as a bold counterpoint to the popular Voltarian verse dramas of the eighteenth century, showcasing the intricate dynamics of love, loyalty, and societal expectations.
