Gottsched(s): that is fascinating! I only knew excerpts from this letter before, and certainly not that Fritz showed such repeated interest in die Gottschedin. Now I'm imaging how an encounter would have gone.
Fritz: So, Madame Gottsched, who among the French authors you've translated was your favourite? LG: Émilie du Chatelet. Want to read my poem to her? It's in the same volume as my Ode To MT, which contains the line "Oh MT, Princess Able To Speak Her People's Language"....
