That's putting it midly! "The new movement of ideas represented by Herder, Goethe, Schiller, Kant and Fichte, Nicolai was incapable of understanding, and he made himself ridiculous by foolish misrepresentation of the aims of these writers." should be removed! Other than sounding like it was written by a teenager it's unreferenced and preposterously biased. I'll do it myself, unless someone more knowledgable of this topic will first.

What? No mention of the most standing reference to this guy, the Proktophantasmist character in Faust's Walpurgis Night? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.37.40.82 (talk) 15:02, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And there is more to that... Goethe just loved to mock Nicolai and make fun of him. When Nicolai wrote a spoof on Goethe's Werther, he earned his lifelong ire and ridicule. --31.18.250.213 (talk) 18:51, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
