THE INFLUENCE OF LENZ’S DIE SOLDATEN ON BRECHT’S MOTHER COURAGE
Within his rather brief lifetime, Jacob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751-1792) faded into obscurity, and would have remained there, the “transient meteor” that his contemporary Goethe predicted he would be, were it not for his influence on German dramatists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Lenz survived as a literary force for centuries without either popular or critical acclaim, due to being a writer’s writer. Over the past fifty years, a consensus of scholars–particularly specialists in the Sturm und Drang and 18th Century German Drama–have credited this eccentric genius with founding the modern tradition in German theatre. This tradition includes Georg Buchner, Frank Wedekind, and culminates in the work of Bertolt Brecht.
