@CitizenWald @CitizenWald A few years back I did some work on a play by librettist Giovacchino Forzano on the hundred days cowritten with Mussolini. The play was quite important for the early years of fascist-nationalsocialist cooperation in the field of culture and was later adapted for film.

@MaxaufderRax Jawohl! Read it in college German class (important enough to be available in a cheap Reclam edition :) )Do people still read it?

@CitizenWald I am not sure. Maybe at universities. But even that? I've read it. A long time ago. Also, by the way...Duke Theodore of Gothland. Tragedy, 1822. And: Jest, Satire, Irony and Deeper Meaning. Comedy, written 1822, 1827. And the latter I seem to have liked … at the time. It was ... weird. But like so many other stories from Germany, Grabbe's reception has a sinister turn: not only the Expressionists, but also Nazis loved him.

@aufsmaulsuppe Fascinating. I did not know that (or must have forgotten). However, I do know (this is even more strange) that he also wrote a biography of the Czech religious reformer Jan Hus(s).Background here:#Mussolini Looks at Jan #Hus and the Bohemian #Reformation - Medievalists.net https://www.medievalists.net/2013/01/mussolini-looks-at-jan-hus-and-the-bohemian-reformation/

@MaxaufderRax Eben: "Kraftgenie" usw. Er war aber mit Heine befreundet, der die Größe seiner Dramen erkannte ("ein Genie").Herzog Theodor sollte ich vielleicht wieder lesen

@CitizenWald I stumbled across the Jan Hus play during the research as Forzano edited the plays written by Mussolini after the war in Italy. But I never read it. The one on Napoleon is quite dull but not uninteresting for Mussolini's vision of Europe prior to his attack on Ethiopia.

@MaxaufderRax guter Ratschlag! Übrigens: das Vorwort zu Herzog Theodor ist sehr aufschlußreich: https://www.projekt-gutenberg.org/grabbe/gothland/goth011.html

@CitizenWald I am extremely curious. Revealing in what way? Because I could think of too many reasons and possibilities. As I said, I am curious.

@MaxaufderRax Oh, I just meant in the way that he presents his own earlier work as somewhat peculiar and rough but without feeling the need to apologize (refers to youth, career changes), and the citation of the letter by Tieck was also quite interesting

@CitizenWald Lieben Dank. Oh ja, das verstehe ich. „Stücke … schweifen in Extreme hinaus, die jetzt dem Verfasser wohl Erstaunen abnötigen, doch keinesweges sein Wohlgefallen erregen. Findet nun der Leser neben diesen Extremen nicht eine Masse unverzärtelter Poesie, tüchtigen Scharfsinns und Witzes, so verdient der Verfasser Gewissensbisse und literarische Strafe.“
