Sturm und Drang
Sturm und Drang or Storm and Stress, movement in German literature that flourished from c.1770 to c.1784. It takes its name from a play by F. M. von Klinger, Wirrwarr; oder, Sturm und Drang (1776). The ideas of Rousseau were a major stimulus of the movement, but it evolved more immediately from the influence of Herder, Lessing, and others. With Sturm und Drang, German authors became cultural leaders of Europe, writing literature that was revolutionary in its stress on subjectivity and on the unease of man in contemporary society. The movement was distinguished also by the intensity with which it developed the theme of youthful genius in rebellion against accepted standards, by its enthusiasm for nature, and by its rejection of the rules of 18th-century neoclassical style. The great figure of the movement was Goethe, who wrote its first major drama, Götz von Berlichingen (1773), and its most sensational and representative novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774). Other writers of importance were Klopstock, J. M. R. Lenz, and Friedrich Müller. The last major figure was Schiller, whose Die Räuber and other early plays were also a prelude to romanticism.

Sturm und Drang
Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress), name given to one aspect of 18th-century German Romanticism which carried to excess the doctrine of the rights of man and Rousseau's plea for a return to nature. It took its name from the title of a play by Klinger, produced in 1776, and was much influenced by Shakespeare. Among the frequently recurring themes in the plays which characterize the movement are the tragedy of the unmarried mother executed for infanticide while her seducer goes free, treated by Goethe and Klinger; the conflict between hostile brothers in love with the same woman, as in Julius von Tarent (1776) by Leisewitz and Schiller's Die Räuber (1782); and the overmastering power of love, hurling even honourable natures into crime, as in Golo und Genoveva (c.1780) by ‘Maler’ Müller. The movement had repercussions all over Europe, and its influence can clearly be seen in early 19th-century English melodrama. A native German offshoot of it was the Ritterdrama.

Sturm und Drang
Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress), the name (taken from the title of an absurd romantic drama of the American War of Independence by the German playwright Klinger, 1775) given to a period of literary ferment which prevailed in Germany during the latter part of the 18th cent. It was inspired by Rousseau's fervent idealism and characterized by a revolt against literary conventions (particularly the unities in drama), by the cult of genius, and by a return to ‘nature’. The principal figures of the movement were the young Goethe, Herder, and Schiller. Many of the plays were translated and adapted for the English stage during the 1790s.

Sturm und Drang
Sturm und Drang (‘Storm and Stress’) German literary movement that takes its name from a play (1776) by F. M. von Klinger. Sturm and Drang rejected the prevailing neo-classicism in favour of subjectivity, artistic creativity, and the beauty of nature. Associated principally with the early works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, and Johann Gottfried von Herder, it is seen as a precursor of Romanticism. The movement influenced Haydn's group of minor-key symphonies.
