**Silesia tragica** presents a substantial scholarly study of Daniel Casper von Lohenstein (1635–1683) and the role of tragedy within early modern German literature. Focused on Lohenstein’s dramatic works and their critical reception, the study situates him within the literary and cultural world of seventeenth-century Silesia, where courtly learning, rhetoric, and political upheaval shaped dramatic expression. The work combines close literary analysis with historical context, tracing how tragic forms were used to explore sovereignty, fate, moral conflict, and public catastrophe. Its extensive scope and multilingual presentation indicate a research-oriented treatment intended for specialists in German literature, theater history, and early modern studies.
