Summary: "De l'Allemagne; t. 2" by Madame de Staël is a critical examination of German literature and drama written in the early 19th century. The work explores various aspects of German culture, focusing on the contributions of significant writers such as Schiller, Goethe, and Werner. It discusses the unique characteristics of German dramatic literature, including its blend of lyric poetry and theatricality, and examines themes of religion, love, and societal norms. The opening of the text delves into the works of the playwright Werner, highlighting his tragedy "Luther," which centers around the impact of Martin Luther and the Reformation in Germany. Staël analyzes the depth of Werner's characters, discussing their motivations and the interplay of music and drama in his works. She contrasts the simplicity of the Protestant message with the opulence of Catholic religious ceremonies and critiques Werner's tendency to infuse his narratives with personal philosophies. Additionally, notable figures such as Charles V and Attila are introduced in the discourse, showcasing Staël's exploration of the tension between historical narratives and the artistic expression found in theater.
