Miss Sara Sampson by LESSING, Gotthold Ephraim

G.E. Lessing, widely regarded by students of theater as the worlds 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 neer-do-well who is still entangled with his former mistress, was a reaction against the Voltarian verse drama popular in the eighteenth century.
