German Drama - Prinz Friedrich Von Homburg Kleist ©1899 by John Scholte Nollen Edited with an introduction and notes by John Scholte Nollen, PH.D. President of Lake Forest College International Modern Language Series Information I found indicates that this work was completed in 1810 and was first published & performed in 1821. This was Kleist's last drama and was designated as a play. It fit into both the Tragedy and Comedy, and was considered both rather than one or the other. The play is written in German, with the notes and introduction in English.
