GermanAbstract
Volume 13 of the correspondence documents once more how Gottsched single-mindedly continued to collect examples of older German poetry in the face of difficulties. Gottsched’s Dying Cato premiered in Vienna in front of a rapturous audience which, as correspondents in Vienna stressed, included the empress and her husband. This correspondence also contains the first reactions to Gottsched’s influential Foundation of a German Literary Language.
