Although they have yet to be treated together in a comparative study, Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Carl Sternheim had a number of points of convergence in their respective searches for a modern form for the serious comedy. This study documents the collegial relationship between the two authors - in part with previously unpublished archival material -, analyses their respective treatments of Molière's comedies and places this in the context of Molière's reception in the German-speaking countries since the 17th century. What emerges is a new view of the comedies of Hofmannsthal and Sternheim, which sees both dramatists applying the same technique of countermodelling Molière's constellations of comedic figures - a modern critical re-appraisal of the traditional comedic type character.

The author: Dugald S. Sturges was born in 1960 in Glens Falls, New York. He studied German, History and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Maine (B.A. 1982), the University of Edinburgh, Washington University in St. Louis (M.A. 1984), Universität Köln, Universität Bonn and at the University of Toronto (Ph.D. 1991).
