«Emilia Galotti» is the tragedy in five acts by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, published by Schöningh im Westermann in paperback (139 pages, in German).
The tragedy examines power and corruption in eighteenth-century aristocratic society through a young woman caught in court intrigues. It shows how the arbitrariness of the powerful conditions the characters' fates and poses a conflict between personal virtue and justice.

Designed for advanced-level German students working on Emilia Galotti as class reading.
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was a German philosopher, dramatist, publicist and art critic. He was a representative of the Enlightenment. His plays and theoretical writings substantially influenced the development of German literature. He is widely considered by theatre historians to be the first dramaturg in his role at Abel Seyler's Hamburg National Theatre. The word "dramaturgy" first appears in his work Hamburg Dramaturgy.
