La figure d'Arminius dans le roman de Lohenstein "Großmüthiger Feldherr Arminius"
2015
Lohenstein’s (1635-1683) posthumous novel Groβmüthiger Feldherr Arminius published in 1689-1690 is the last text this Silesian author worked on in his final years. Having published numerous tragedies based mainly on classical subject – Cleopatra (1660), Agrippina (1665), and Sophonisbe (1680) – Lohenstein concentrated this time on the writings of Tacitus and Velleius Paterculus, resulting in his own personal view of the character Armenius (Hermann) and the confrontation between the Latin and Germanic worlds.
