Weimar Classicism Dramatists

Playwrights of Weimar Classicism and the earlier Sturm und Drang movement in Germany in the late eighteenth century. A playwright belongs here when the cited article or its infobox names these movements. It excludes Romantic and Realist dramatists. Their dramas, written in the circle of the court at Weimar, joined an ideal of ancient Greek balance with questions of freedom and duty, following the stormy earlier writing of the Sturm und Drang.
