Abstract:
Theodor Johann Quistorp was among the regular contributors to Gottsched’s
Deutsche Schaubühne (1741-1745). In addition to his published works as a playwright, he tried
his hand at writing non-fiction, taking a stand against Baumgarten’s theories, and engaging
in a heated debate with Georg Friedrich Meier. Quistorp’s comedies are actually based on
a conception of the comic effect that is far removed from Gottschedian rationalism. In his
Hypochondrist (1745), melancholy and depression are not represented as evil and morally
deviant, but as a physiological expression of human nature, which is to be linked to all
other aspects of individual identity.
