Excerpt from The New Laokoon: An Essay on the Confusion, of the Arts The title I have taken for this book expresses my sense of what needs doing rather than what I myself would claim to have done. I have suffered, both in selecting a title and in treating my subject itself, from a certain poverty in our English critical vocabulary. The word genre seems to be gaining some currency in English. The same can scarcely be said of the melange des genres; and yet it is around the melange des genres and allied topics that my main argument revolves. Napoleon is reported to have said to Goethe in the course of a conversation on a problem very similar to the one I have attempted, "Je m'etonne qu'un aussi grand esprit que vous n'aime pas les genres tranches." I have often been forced to borrow Napoleon's term and speak of the genre tranche, for lack of a suitable English equivalent. Lessing published his "Laokoon" in 1766, toward the very end of the neo-classical movement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Laokoon, and How the Ancients Represented Death Though there is no writer whose works may be more advantageously studied as a whole than Lessing's, there are few of equal importance who are known in this country in so partial and fragmentary a manner. Various translations of 'Nathan der Weise' and 'Minna von Barnhelm' have, it is true, exhibited him fairly enough as a dramatist of pure style, refined humour, and liberal thought; at the same time another class of readers has had more than one opportunity of studying the treatise on the 'Laokoon,' and admiring his vigorous and suggestive style of criticism and wide scholarship, which must always give it a literary interest whatever substantial value may be assigned to it. But such an acquaintance with isolated pieces hardly allows a reader to estimate their real value, and still less does it afford him an opportunity of co-ordinating the positions of Lessing the dramatist and Lessing the critic, and forming any definite notion of his true place in literary history. To do so demands in any case some general knowledge of German literature, but whilst Goethe and Schiller have become duly appreciated in this country, their great precursor has, amongst general readers, been little more than a name to those who were even so far acquainted with him.

Excerpt from Laokoon, and How the Ancients Represented Death Zimmern have, no doubt, done much to dispel this ignorance, and paved the way for a wider study of Lessing's own work, and the publication in Bohn's Libraries of a translation of all his completed dramas, has given English readers an opportunity of estimating his merits for themselves in this particular path of literature. But inasmuch as these dramas, a large preportion of which were composed in his youth, are veiy far from representing the substance of his more mature work, a selection, at least, from his prose writings, in which of course the 'laokoon' must be included, is absolutely necessary to give any adequate notion of Lessing's achievements. The main bent of his mind was essentially critical, and this fact is sufficient to account for the modified degree of recognition which he has met with. A critic merely as such cannot be a popular writer, and the necessity that the results of his labours, so far as they are effective, must be appropriated and absorbed by succeeding writers has a further tendency to limit the duration of any fame that he may have acquired on the score of them. That Lessing, notwithstanding this, is known as the author of some pieces that are in the truest sense popular is due to qualities not strictly critical, or necessarily coexistent with the clear insight and independence of mind which forced him to analyze afresh'and probe to its depths any subject that came within his intellectual grasp. It is the faculty of invention to which are due such creations as Nathan, Minna, or von Tellheim, and the strong infusion of personal character which gives to his didactic writings the charm of essays, whilst they have the weight of treatises, that constitute his claims to popular appreciation.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
