Egmont (play)
''Egmont'' is a play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which he completed in 1788. Its dramaturgical structure, like that of his earlier play ''Götz von Berlichingen'' (1773), is heavily influenced by Shakespearean tragedy. In contrast to the earlier work, the portrait in ''Egmont'' of the downfall of a man who trusts in the goodness of those around him appears to mark a shift away from values. Publication The first edition was published in Leipzig, by Georg Joachim Göschen in 1788. Further editions were published in Leipzig in 1788, 1789, 1790, 1803 and at regular intervals thereafter. The play was translated into French in 1822, and into English by Anna Swanwick in 1850, published in Bohn's Standard Library. Plot In ''Egmont'', Goethe relates the fight of Count Egmont (1522–1568) in the Eighty Years' War against the despotic Duke of Alba.
