Inspired by the impressions he gained as a member of the entourage of Russian Grand Duke Paul during his trip to Europe (178182) and by his knowledge of the Court of Catherine the Great, Friedrich Maximilian Klinger penned the three dramatic texts "The Oath," "The Favourite," and "Konradin," which initially appeared in the collection "Theater" in 1786 and 1787. This is the first volume to provide an edition of and commentary on these texts.
