Hamburg Dramaturgy is a highly influential work on
drama by
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, written between 1767 and 1769. It was not originally conceived as a unified and systematical book, but rather as series of theater reviews, which Lessing wrote when working as the world's first
dramaturg for the
Hamburg National Theatre.
Hamburg Dramaturgy defined the new field of
dramaturgy, and also introduced the term.
