G. Freytag |
Of Freytag's dramas, Die Journalisten (1845) was one of the best German comedies of the 19th century and still remains popular. His other plays, including the ambitious tragedy Die Fabier (1859), were quickly forgotten. His dramatic criticism, Die Technik des Dramas (1863), was a synthesis of classical and modern theories which influenced many of his contemporaries. As a novelist Freytag produced one masterpiece, Solí und Haben (1855), a unique picture of German life in his time. Less distinguished, but equally known, was Die verlorene Handschrift (1864), a novel of university life.
