In what is still the standard survey of German historical drama, 'Das deutsche Geschichtsdrama' (1952), Friedrich Sengle understands "historical drama" as that in which objective history is blended with an 'idea' that is the basis of its dramatic coherence and force. This idea inevitably becomes the engine of a dramatic action, inclining the theatergoer to become wholly engaged with dramatic characters in a dramatic present, rather than with 'real' figures in a historical past. Such plays (for instance Schiller's 'Maria Stuart') may remain broadly 'true to history,' but the 'experience' they afford is often not historical; that is, it may be emotionally and intellectually compelling, but it will not be historical in the sense of causing us, in our present, to become engaged with our relationship with past figures and events and their continued relevance for us. Alan Menhennet identifies and analyzes examples of German drama that are historical in the stricter sense: not only in terms of the provenance of the material, but also in that, while remaining dramatic in nature, they do convey a historical experience. By means of a critical survey extending from the seventeenth century to the twentieth, in the contexts of literary history, the philosophy of history, and German history from the Thirty Years' War to the Second World War, Menhennet provides a complement to Sengle's still-valuable study. Major figures treated include Gryphius, Lessing, Schiller, Goethe, Grillparzer, Hebbel, Schnitzler, and Brecht. There is no competing work in English. Alan Menhennet is Professor Emeritus of German at the University of Newcastle, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. He is author of 'Grimmelshausen the Storyteller' (Camden House, 1997).

In dem beliebtesten literarischen Genre der deutschsprachigen Literatur im 'Jahrhundert der Geschichte', dem Geschichtsdrama, spiegelt sich die Anziehungskraft einer 'Geschichtskultur' wider, in der das Wissen und die Repräsentationsleistungen von historiographischer Forschung, Geschichtsschreibung, historischen Museen, Archäologie, Kunst und Literatur zusammenfließen. Sie bildet damit den Ausgangs- und Zielpunkt für eine Reihe von Lektüren, die Dramen aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert gewidmet sind, Dramen vieler inzwischen unbekannter und einiger noch bekannter Autorinnen und Autoren - zu den bekannteren zählen Christian Dietrich Grabbe, Heinrich von Kleist und Karl Immermann -, die ihr Thema 'in der Geschichte' und deren einzelnen Geschichten finden. Zentriert um die beiden Stränge der Konstruktion einer deutschen Nation nach den napoleonischen Kriegen und der sich in Geschichte(n) verstrickenden Emanzipation moderner Subjektivität, liefern diese Texte Materialien für eine Archäologie des Ensembles symbolischer Techniken der Selbstmodellierung und der Selbstinterpretation des kulturellen Systems zwischen Aufklärung und Historismus, in denen sich die schillernde Vieldeutigkeit, die Attraktivität und die belastende Hypothek einer programmatischen Wendung in die Vergangenheit abzeichnen.
