Staging Virtue: Women, Death, and Liberty in Elise Reimarus's Cato
作者： Lisa Helma Curtis-Wendlandt

摘要: Elise Reimarus was among the leading women intellectuals of eighteenth-century Hamburg. Rarely acknowledged today, her surviving writings contribute to central literary and philosophical debates in Europe at time. This paper traces Reimarus’s intervention controversy surrounding Joseph Addison’s tragedy Cato (1713) its dramatization republican liberty virtue. Long erased from canon, German translation adaptation (ca. 1776) radicalizes critique Cato’s Stoic leadership style. By rewriting love-plots foregrounding characters’ private lives, engenders an alternative “art politics”—one that steers a consequentialist path toward common good.
