Miss Sara Sampson by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729 - 1781)

G.E. Lessing, widely regarded by students of theater as the world’s first dramaturg, was also one of the first proponents of the German bourgeois tragedy. Miss Sara Sampson, in which a young woman runs off with a ne’er-do-well who is still entangled with his former mistress, was a reaction against the Voltarian verse drama popular in the eighteenth century.
