About this book

Goethe was director of the Weimar Court Theatre from 1791 to 1817. During these years, which were characterized by political upheavals, he was not only a famous and influential poet but at the same time a close confidant of the Grand Duke Carl August and minister in his government. As theatre director he took advantage of both of his social functions and made the stage a place of communication of cultural policy. This study explores the influence of political events on Goethe’s theatre conception and which role the stage played as political medium in the duchy.
