Sturm und Drang

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from German Sturm und Drang with the same figurative meaning, from Sturm (“storm”) + und (“and”) + Drang (“pressure, stress; urge, impulse, longing”). The phrase is the title of the play Sturm und Drang (1776) by German dramatist Friedrich Maximilian von Klinger (1752–1831). The fact that the phrase is often italicized suggests it has not been fully assimilated into English. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈʃtɜːm ʊnt ˈdræŋ/, /ˈʃtʊəm-/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˈʃtɝm ʊnt ˈdræŋ/, /ˈʃtʊɚm ʊnt ˈdrɑŋ/ === Noun === Sturm und Drang (uncountable) (literature, music, theater) A proto-Romantic movement in German literature and music which occurred from the late 1760s to the early 1780s, emphasizing individual subjectivity and the free expression of emotions.

Many of the new parties realized after their Sturm und Drang years that they still needed regular contacts with the 'civil' world and that their civilian support base had been seriously eroded. ==== Alternative forms ==== sturm and drang, Sturm and Drang ==== Translations ==== === Further reading === Sturm und Drang on Wikipedia.Wikipedia == German == === Etymology === 1820s, after the play Sturm und Drang (1776) by Friedrich Maximilian von Klinger. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈʃtʊɐ̯m ʊnt ˈdʁaŋ] === Noun === Sturm und Drang m (strong, genitive Sturms und Drangs or Sturmes und Dranges or Sturm und Drang, no plural) (literature, music, theater) Sturm und Drang (proto-Romantic artistic movement) Synonym: Geniezeit (figuratively) A period of turmoil. === Further reading === “Sturm und Drang” in Duden online Sturm und Drang on the German Wikipedia.Wikipedia de
