- Abstract
In his dissertation, the literary historian Tilman Venzl examines the German-language military drama of the 18th century. He analyzes the function of these plays, which deal with military personnel and their representations. Venzl argues for the concept of "military drama" and emphasizes the social relevance and the value of these plays as sources. He also examines the social relationships between the military and civil society, as well as the portrayal of topics such as desertion and military honor. Venzl criticizes the one-sided view of the Enlightenment and the exclusion of war and the military in the literary research of the 20th century.
