Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of German Literature It may be asked, why have we not translated one of the best of many German books on the History of German Literature The reply is, that, in some instances, they are too extensive; in others they are rather critical than narrative or descriptive, and are designed for readers who already have some considerable knowledge of the subject. The work now offered to English readers is moderately com pendions, and while many critical remarks may be found its pages, its general character is descriptive. As far as is possible, writers of various schools and of several periods are here allowed to speak for themselves. In several of the quotations given, the form of abridged translation is used, in order to gain more breadth of outline. With the exception of two or three stanzas (from hymns noticed in Chapter XL), no translations, either in prose or verse, have been borrowed. The translations from minor poets, which may seem numerous, are intended to give a fair representa tion of German poets of the second class - writers whose genius is truly poetic, though not comprehensive, and who have especially excelled in their lyrical ballads. It is not long since a notion prevailed, that a review of poetical literature, with a few brief notices of history and biography, might be accepted as the history of a national literature. But theology and philosophy are, though not immediately yet closely, united with general culture, and we have, therefore, made no attempt to evade the difficulty attending the treatment of these subjects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the History of German Literature The present little volume is long overdue; it was originally my intention to accompany my History of German Literature with a briefer introduction to the subject, and a considerable part of the present book dates back to the time of my occupation with the History. The point of view from which I have regarded the subject will be found to be not essentially different from that of the larger book; and, as in the latter, I have considered it advisable to keep as far as possible to accepted judgments, rather than to obtrude divergent personal views which in a book of this scope there is not room to support. The economy of space compared with the larger book has been attained by the suppression of detail concerning minor writers; the chief writers and works have, on the other hand, been dealt with on what may seem a disproportionate scale. But this is inevitable in a small book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of German Romanticism Grillparzer made a Romanticist, and so on. And as to inaccessible books, Goedeke is replete with references to works unattainable in this country and difficult of access in Germany. Any general history of German literature of about five hundred pages discusses about eight hundred different writers. Manifestly in such a work facts and interpretation must walk lock-step, so that it is impossible to make the one complete by condensation or the other definitive by elaboration. But by giving undisturbed atten tion to a single phase of a single period, it is possible to settle one thing: it is possible to reduce the Philistinism of the course to a minimum and thereby enable the students to spend their limited time on that which is eternally worth while, on the literature pure and simple.

Also, a Choice Selection of Characteristic Sermon Poems This volume is, as its name indicates, only the Out lines of that great field of study - German Literature. I have been induced to put it before the public, on account of the convenience it has been to me, both in my schools and private classes, where a less condensed literature was found too voluminous. My work springs from the con stant teaching of the excellent works of Prof. Hosmer and Dr. Hedge. It is my duty and pleasure to thank these gentlemen for the information and enjoyment derived from their literatures, by me and my classes. This is especially so in regard to Prof. Hosmer, whose work has served me as a text-book for years.

Download or read book A Chronology and Practical Bibliography of Modern German Literature Classic Reprint written by John Scholte Nollen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chronology and Practical Bibliography of Modern German Literature The Chronology and Bibliography here given were originally intended to supplement a brief outline of the history of German literature written for the texts of the Lake German Series; but as the material grew far beyond the limits of an appendix, it was thought best to rearrange and round out this material so as to form an independent work of more general value. Since the attempt was made to cover, in a small volume, the whole field of modern German literature, from Luther to the present day, anything like an exhaustive treatment was of course out of the question. In general, only such authors are included in the Bibliography as appear in the outline, such as must inevitably be mentioned in any rapid survey of modern German literature. The compiler is well aware that the selection here made is open to criticism at a great many points; but in the diflicult task of choosing some two hundred names from the great roll of modern German authors, he has at least done his best to avoid caprice and to weigh absolute and historical values impartially. The bibliographical and critical references are intend ed to include only what is best, or at least what is good; to save space, full titles are given only where they are necessary to indicate the character of the work in question. As the Bibliography is designed, in part, to serve as a guide in the purchase of books, prices are generally quoted, and the latest editions noted.

Download or read book The German Language written by Tobias Diekhoff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Language: Outlines of Its Development Language teachers recognize the injustice and prejudice in such condemnation. At the same time, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that more and more the study Of foreign languages is pursued not for its own inherent value, but for ulterior purposes, however legitimate they may be. I have long had the conviction that for the loss of pres tige suffered by language study during the last twenty years, the profession is not altogether without blame. In trying to meet the popular clamor for practical results, Often enough coming from sources whence it should be least expected, we have allowed our work to grow more or less superficial, giving more attention to a favorable appearance, to entertainment of the learner than to serious study with its sure and lasting reward. The best, if not the only way in which we may rehabilitate ourselves in the esteem of seriously minded students, is by laying surer and deeper foundations for our work. In this book I meant to put my efforts in this direction at the service Of all teachers and students who are interested in gaining an intelligent understanding of linguistic processes as they manifest themselves in the German language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Hermann Und Dorothea: With Introduction and Notes As regards the state of the text, it can perhaps be said without presumption that the present one is more free from outside intrusions than any which has appeared since Goethe undertook the revision of the poem. It has been my good fortune to enter into the fruits of the elaborate studies upon the text made for some years by Professor Hewett, and to have his results placed fully at my disposal. The Schneider collection of original editions of the German classics, recently acquired by the Northwestern University, has also supplied invaluable original materials for this purpose. In orthography and punctuation, modern rules have been applied: in this, as in countless other ways, I have had much help from Professor Hewett's monumental edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Hermann Und Dorothea: With Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary To make easy and enjoyable the early reading of the poem for its own sake is the aim 'of this edition. It leaves to later study the details of the great author's life and poetic development, and does not endeavor through the poem to teach the history of the German language or of German literature. For this book, therefore, the editor believes that a place is open. Both Introduction and Notes are designed to be concise and practical, while to the Vocabulary most careful attention and elaboration have been given, in order to make it complete, accurate, and thoroughly helpful. The publishers are responsible for the posi tion of the Notes, which in accordance with their ear lier desire were designed by the editor to be footnotes on the pages of the Text. It has seemed advisable to make this change in response to the earnest solicita tions of many teachers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Poems, 1800-1850: Edited With Introduction and Notes The collection of German poems given in this volume is intended to represent a distinct period in German literature, the time of the Romanticists, their contemporary Opponents, and their immediate heirs; the time also of patriotic poetry, from the days of the War of Liberation to the revolutionary days of the thirties and forties. The emergence of the Ro mantic School coincided with the beginning of the nine teenth century, and its direct influence lasted about half a century. This period from 1800 to 1850 was conspicuously and characteristically lyric in its literary expression, and therefore a collection of lyric poems represents the move ments of the time with unusual completeness and fidelity.

Download or read book Translating the World written by Birgit Tautz and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Translating the World, Birgit Tautz provides a new narrative of German literary history in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Departing from dominant modes of thought regarding the nexus of literary and national imagination, she examines this intersection through the lens of Germany’s emerging global networks and how they were rendered in two very different German cities: Hamburg and Weimar. German literary history has tended to employ a conceptual framework that emphasizes the nation or idealized citizenry, yet the experiences of readers in eighteenth-century German cities existed within the context of their local environments, in which daily life occurred and writers such as Lessing, Schiller, and Goethe worked. Hamburg, a flourishing literary city in the late eighteenth century, was eventually relegated to the margins of German historiography, while Weimar, then a small town with an insular worldview, would become mythologized for not only its literary history but its centrality in national German culture. By interrogating the histories of and texts associated with these cities, Tautz shows how literary styles and genres are born of local, rather than national, interaction with the world. Her examination of how texts intersect and interact reveals how they shape and transform the urban cultural landscape as they are translated and move throughout the world. A fresh, elegant exploration of literary translation, discursive shifts, and global cultural changes, Translating the World is an exciting new story of eighteenth-century German culture and its relationship to expanding global networks that will especially interest scholars of comparative literature, German studies, and literary history.
