50 Gedichte des Sturm und Drang [50 Poems of the Storm and Stress]

The literature of the Sturm und Drang in the decade between 1770 and 1780 is the first attempt to think the Enlightenment further: in the discovery and literary description of the radically individual versus social constraints. This representative selection of 50 poems offers a good overview of the authors and poetic themes of this period, from Schubart and Buerger, Goethe, Schiller and Lenz to lesser known figures such as Staeudlin or the painter and writer Fuessli.
