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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of German Literature For what I owe to other workers in the field, and for invaluable hints and suggestions from those who have helped me in reading the proofs - especially my friend Professor F. H. Wilkens of Union College, Schenectady - I have to express my hearty thanks.

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 a History of the German Language It must further be pointed out that before an English reader can peruse it advantageously, he must possess some knowledge of German, otherwise many of the illustrations will be meaningless to him. It is intended, in the first instance, to be useful to teachers, who can fill up and amplify principles which space forbade the authors from illustrating more fully but it is hoped that advanced students may derive some aid from it.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthology Of German Literature This book is designed to accompany an introductory study of the history of German literature. It is assumed that the history itself will be learned, so far as necessary, either from lectures or from some other book devoted to the subject. As the selections were made, for the most part, while I was writing my own short history of German literature for the series published under the general editorship of Mr. Edmund Gosse and known as Literatures of the World, it was natural that the Anthology should take on, to some extent, the charac ter of a companion book to the History. At the same time I did not desire that either book should necessari involve the use of the other. Hence the absence of cross references; and hence also, in the Ah thology, the brief introductory notes, giving important dates and sum mary characterizations. These are meant to enable the student to read the selections intelligently without constant recourse to some other book.
