metadata.value: J. M. R. Lenz’s drama “The Soldiers” (“Die Soldaten,” 1776) was based on the autobiographical
  material from the prose text called “The Diary” (“Das Tagebuch,” 1774). The cross-genre situation is however not limited to the selection of the events described in these two works. The
  nearly simultaneous work on both “The Soldiers” and “The Diary” allowed Lenz to enrich his
  drama with some epic structures and elements, and use several dramatic techniques in prose.
  The latter was a common tendency in the prose of Goethe’s time, and we can also find some
  epic structures in dramas of that time (such as the structure of history chronicles in Goethe’s
  drama “Götz von Berlichingen” or the bourgeois tragedy “Miss Sara Sampson” by Lessing who
  wrote it under the influence of the English sentimental novel), but the scenario in which the
  same story is presented both in drama and prose by the same author is unique. The article
  shows how Lenz incorporated in his drama the elements of some narrative genres such as the
  epistolary novel, didactic prose, and parable, mixing them with the dramatic forms of comedy,
  farce, classical tragedy, and bourgeois tragedy. The article offers a new interpretation of the
  widely acknowledged technique of fragmentary composition by Lenz: not only does it create
  the effect of “natural” perception of reality and keeps the spectator in suspense, but it also allows
  the writer to switch from one genre to another.
