About This Item
1835. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. Small 4to. Manuscript on paper. [2], 53 pp. Complete. Stitched (plain paper wrappers torn and frayed along spine, with loss), edges untrimmed. Minor blemishes to the text but unsophisticated. Preserved in a protective cloth case. Highly curious and apparently unpublished German Romantic play concerning the "Death of Lottchus" (in Part 1) and his ghost (in Part 2), "The Happiness of Marriage." The action takes place in Rubeland (Saxony-Anhalt). Other performers include Flanko, Wolf, Fritzus and his wife Perdestalla, Liebling, and Maloss. Despite extensive searching, we have been unable to find any reference to a play such as this.
