Transformed into a master of language and languages, Scaramutza-social critic, voluptuary, and mouthpiece for his author-ushers in a new type of comedy that depends more on the happy ending than on laughter for its effect. This study should both establish the significance of the long-neglected dramatic works of Caspar Stieler, already regarded as an important lyric poet of the German Baroque, and serve to initiate a reevaluation of German comedy and of the standard definition of the comic genre used by Germanists as Aikin explores the heroic or romantic comedy as a subgenre of literary merit. The study includes a discussion of Stieler's important contributions to the development of the German-language Singspiel and opera.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711555535136,"sku":"NEW0271028467","price":39.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91g6J52dV0L.jpg?v=1779397592","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/scaramutza-in-germany-the-dramatic-works-of-caspar-stieler-0271028467","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
