 August von Kotzebue - Definition, explanation
August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue (May 3, 1761 - March 23, 1819), was a German dramatist.
In Reval he acquired considerable reputation by his novels, Die Leiden der Ortenbergischen Familie (1785) and Geschichte meines Vaters (1788), and still more by the plays Adelkeid von Wulfingen (1789), Menschenhass und Reue (1790) and Die Indianer in England (1790).
The good impression produced by these works was, however, almost effaced by a cynical dramatic satire, Doktor Bahrdt mit den eisernen Stirn, which appeared in 1790 with the name of Knigge on the title page.
