Benjamin Franklin? Is that serious? --Old Bill 11:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Apparently so. See for example, Kieser, R. Benjamin Franklin Wedekind: Biographie einer Jugend Zurich 1990, or (in English) e.g. Henry Barnes, A Life for the Spirit: Rudolf Steiner in the Crosscurrents of Our Time, Note D on page 267. Stumps 11:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Illegitimate child? edit

Does anyone have a citation backing up the claim about Wedekind's child? DionysosProteus 23:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Lulu / Lolita edit

I saw the Lulu play performed in Niagara-on-the-Lake Ontario at the Shaw Festival. One of the points made in the audience programme is the thread of influence and inspiration connecting Wedekind's Lulu with Nabokov's Lolita and many other erotic prodigies across a century or more. I think this is worth mentioning, somewhere. 76.67.124.129 (talk) 03:33, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
