Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is considered the founder of modern German literature, the first true German playwright, and the father of German criticism. His play, Minna von Barnhelm, written in 1767, a comedy concerned with ordinary German life, revolutionized the German stage. The story centers on events that occur after General Tellheim, a discharged Prussian soldier, refuses to marry Minna, a German noble, due to the differences in their circumstances.
