On the significance of Fraischdö rfer for Jean Paul's attitude to Weimar Classicism see Eduard Berend's introduction toQuintus Fixlein (SW.I; 5; pp.XXVI–XXVII). Naturally Jean Paul could not have had knowledge ofKampagne in Frankreich: I quote these passages simply as examples of the “artistisch-formalistischen” outlook (Berend) which Jean Paul encountered in Weimar and from which he dissented.
