However, he is regarded as an author who stands at a threshold, paving the way for \u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eWeimar Classicism\u003c\/span\u003e without walking it himself. Lessing is the ‘pre-classicist’ of German literature, praised and appropriated as a fighter for the nation and the bourgeoisie, for truth and tolerance. Robert Vellusig traces Lessing’s influence on German culture and literature, with all its misunderstandings, in contrast to his multifaceted oeuvre and portrays him as a pastor’s son turned poet, a genius of criticism, an intellectual well versed in public debates, and an outstanding representative of Enlightenment in the truest sense of the word.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThis book is a translation of the original German edition \u003cem\u003eLessing und die Folgen \u003c\/em\u003eby Robert Vellusig, published by J.B.
