Der Engländer by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz

"Der Engländer" by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz is a dramatic sketch published in 1777. The work follows Robert Hot, an English lord consumed by obsessive longing for Princess Armida in Turin. As his father arrives to take him back to England for an arranged marriage, Robert's desperate attempts to reach the unattainable princess spiral into madness. Through melancholic monologues and increasingly erratic behavior, the drama traces his tragic descent across two countries, exploring themes of unfulfilled desire and resignation.
