In 1772 Lessing completed a tragedy on which he had worked sporadically since 1757, when he decided to dramatize the ancient story of Virginia as related by Livy (Titus Livius) in his 'History of Rome'. The purpose of this study is to report the reactions and criticism of those German, Swiss and Austrian authors who commented on Lessing's 'Emilia Galotti - Ein Trauerspiel in fünf Aufzügen' from the time of its creation to the twentieth century and to note the various degrees to which it influenced writers of different personal and literary bent. Contents: 1). Introduction. 1). The Enlightement. 2). Sentimentality. a). General. b). Göttinger Hainbund. 3). Sturm und Stress. 4). Goethe, Schiller, and Wilhelm von Humboldt. 5). Romanticism. 6).
