Dramatic Technique by Gustav Freytag

Beginning a transcription of the public domain work by the XIXth-century German writer

Beginning today, we start to post Gustav Freytat’s booklength treatise on the art of dramatic writing. archive.org has made available Microsoft’s scans of the book, and you can go there to view or download a copy in a few formats. The text-only version, however, is raw OCR-dump, and not worth bothering with.

Therefore we thought we should make a text version of our own, and offer it here. We’re using speech-recognition to do so, and we hope there won’t be too many goofs from that.
