First edition of Lessing's first collection of "Lustspiele" containing the first printing of "Minna von Barnhelm".Lessing 1729-1781 is the most important literary writer of the Age of German Enlightenment; with him this period is fulfilled as well as overcome."Minna von Barnhelm" is one of Lessing's most important and successfull works and is considered one of the absolute best of his plays. "Es war die erste deutsche Dramatische Dichtung welche nicht gemacht sondern erlebt war." Hettner Geschichte der deutschen Literatur im 18. Jahrh. II: 310. Lessing himself wrote in a letter that should "Minna of Barnhelm" not turn out to be the very best of his plays he would be very disappointed and never have anything to do with the theatre again. " "Minna von Barnhelm" ist unbedingt die vollendeste dichterische Leistung Lessings." Hettner II: 310. Goethe also considered this work a masterpiece; he found it the most sincere thing to have come out of the Seven Years War and a work of immense importance and impact. With this work we find the genres of drama and comedy fulfilled."Nach ein paar Wanderjahren kehrte er nach Berlin zurück wo 1766 un 1767 zwei seiner Meisterwerke erschienen: der "Laokoon" und das Lustspiel "Minna von Barnhelm".
