| 520 | |a This letter contains Lessing's most explicit observations on the distinction between poetry and prose as well as a unique proposal for emending Aristotle's interpretation of the dramatic method.

An analysis of these modifications provides the framework for a critique of Lessing's aesthetic philosophy as a whole. | ||
