Autorenporträt
August von Kotzebue (1761-1819) was a prolific German playwright and writer whose extensive body of work significantly influenced the literature and theatre of his time. Born in Weimar, he became one of the most popular writers of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Kotzebue penned over 200 plays, embracing a wide range of genres from comedies and historical dramas to melodramas. One of his most recognized plays is 'The Stranger' ('Menschenhass und Reue'), first performed in 1789. This celebrated piece of work became famous throughout Europe and contributed to the establishment of bourgeois tragedy as a genre. The Stranger, with its thematic exploration of forgiveness and social isolation, typifies Kotzebue's theatrical style, marked by emotional storytelling and a focus on middle-class sensibilities. While his name might not resonate as loudly as some of his contemporaries' in today's literary discourse, Kotzebue's works were widely translated and celebrated during his lifetime. His literary style is characterized by its accessibility and appeal to a broad audience, echoing sentiments and morals that resonated across class boundaries. Despite a career marked with success, Kotzebue's life ended in tragedy when he was assassinated due to his political entanglements, which served to underscore the turbulent nature of his era. Posthumously, his contribution to the arts remained significant, affecting the currents of European drama and the evolution of theatrical tradition.
