The comedy of “Minna von Barnhelm,” completed about 1761, is the most celebrated of that era. It is a most spirited and impressive production, no less characteristic than national, and at its first appearance on the German stage, was reckoned, upon the whole, a perfect phenomenon. By its dolorose scenes, which excel the comic ones, it ought, perhaps, rather to be classed with the tragic drama than with comedy.
