    "Schiller’s play Kabale und Liebe, usually translated into English as Love and Intrigue, represents the disastrous consequences that follow when social constraint, youthful passion, and ruthless scheming collide in a narrow setting. Written between 1782 and 1784, the play bears the marks of life at the court of the despotic Duke of Württemberg, from which Schiller had just fled, and of a fraught liaison he entered shortly after his flight. It tells the tale of a love affair that crosses the boundaries of class, between a fiery and rebellious young nobleman and the beautiful and dutiful daughter of a musician. Their affair becomes entangled in the competing purposes of malign and not-so-malign figures present at an obscure and sordid princely court somewhere in Germany. It all leads to a climactic murder–suicide.

     

    Love and Intrigue, the third of Schiller’s canonical plays (after The Robbers and Fiesco’s Conspiracy at Genoa), belongs to the genre of domestic tragedy, with a small cast and an action indoors. It takes place as the highly conventional world of the late eighteenth century stands poised to erupt, and these tensions pervade its setting and emerge in its action. This lively play brims with comedy and tragedy expressed in a colorful, highly colloquial, sometimes scandalous prose well captured in Flora Kimmich’s skilled and informed translation. An authoritative essay by Roger Paulin introduces the reader to the play.

     

    As with all books in the Open Book Classics series, this translation is supported by an introduction and notes that situate an old text in its period and help both the student and the general reader read it with ease and with pleasure."

Relentless professionalization of the common law set off a cascade of lawyerly self-fashioning – resulting in blunt attacks on lay judgment. English playwrights, including Shakespeare, resisted the forces of legal professionalization by casting legal expertise as a detriment to moral feeling. They celebrated the ability of individuals, guided by conscience and working alongside members of their community, to restore justice. Playwrights used the participatory nature of drama to deepen public understanding of and respect for communal justice. In plays such as King Lear and Macbeth, lay people accomplish the work of magistracy: conscience structures legal judgment, neighbourly care shapes the coroner’s inquest, and communal emotions give meaning to confession and repentance. An original and deeply sourced study of early modern literature and law, Communal Justice in Shakespeare’s England contributes to a growing body of scholarship devoted to the study of how drama creates and sustains community. Penelope Geng brings together a wealth of imaginative and documentary archives – including plays, sermons, conscience literature, Protestant hagiographies, legal manuals, and medieval and early modern chronicles – proving that literature never simply reacts to legal events but always actively invents legal questions, establishes legal expectations, and shapes legal norms

    Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Gattung des deutschen bürgerlichen Trauerspiel. Sie legt eine Skala der Figurenentwicklung vom literarisch definierten Typ über das Individuum zum selbstreflektierten Subjekt zu Grunde. Diese Kategorien hängen eng mit den Entwicklungen des deutschen Bürgertums zur Entstehungszeit der Dramen zusammen, ermöglichen jedoch eine literaturinterne Betrachtung der Dramen mit Blick auf ihre Gattungszugehörigkeit zum Genre des deutschen bürgerlichen Trauerspiels. Analaysiert werden auf dieser Basis die Dramen "Miss Sara Sampson", "Emilia Galotti", "Stella" und "Kabale ... The thesis deals with the genre of the German domestic tragedy. It is based on a scale of figur development from the literarily defined type via the individual to the self-reflective subject. These categories are closely related to the developments of the German middle classes at the time of the dramas' creation, but allow for a literary-internal examination of the dramas with regard to their genre affiliation with the genre of the German domestic tragedy. On this basis, the dramas "Miss Sara Sampson," "Emilia Galotti," "Stella," and "Kabale und Liebe" are analyzed....
