Description
Résumé:Unhappy with the censorship of his treatises in 1778, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing decided to choose another medium. In writing N athan, he wanted to mount his 'old pulpit', the stage. This was more than a clever excuse, since there was indeed a sort of enlightened parish which was used to hearing Lessing as a prophetic preacher: the Reimarian circle in Hamburg. Lessing saw his Nathan as a kind of sermon which had a persuasive story and did not try to convince with rational arguments. His view of theater as a place for preaching seems to have been inspired by his intense occupation with the Reformation poet Hans Sachs at that time. Combined with some explicit theological statements, this shows that Lessing could regard himself as the legitimate heir of the Reformation.
