What defines the boundary between art and life? In Laokoon; Lessing, Herder, Goethe, William Guild Howard guides readers through the vibrant debates that shaped 18th century literary criticism and the philosophy of art. This masterful study explores how three titans of the German Enlightenment-Lessing, Herder, and Goethe-reimagined classical art theory and aesthetics, forging a new understanding of expression that resonates through the ages. Their insights laid the foundations for German classicism and continue to influence comparative literature studies and the wider currents of European intellectual history.Howard’s analysis offers readers a compelling window into the intellectual ferment of the Enlightenment era, illuminating the dynamic interplay between literature, philosophy, and visual art. Scholars of German literature and those seeking an academic research resource will find this volume indispensable, while general readers are invited to discover the passion and precision with which these thinkers approached the enduring questions of creativity and meaning.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
