Robert Vellusig traces Lessing's influence on German culture and literature, with all its misunderstandings, in contrast to his multifaceted oeuvre and portrays him as a pastor's son turned poet, a genius of criticism, an intellectual well versed in public debates, and an outstanding representative of Enlightenment in the truest sense of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e This book is a translation of the original German edition \u003cem\u003eLessing und die Folgen \u003c\/em\u003eby Robert Vellusig, published by J.B.
