Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Early German Literature When this work had already made much progress, there appeared, in 1907, a similar collection, intended like the present one for Amer ican and English students. It did not seem necessary, however, ou this account to disoontinue the present work. There is no reason why there should not exist several readers in German literature, as little as there is any objection to the existence of more than one German grammar.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Classics: Masterpieces of German Literature The news of the occurrence spread rapidly, and all through the day two or three hundred people from Rodez - men, women, and children - were standing on both shores staring with a look of fascination and self-induced horror into the depths of the ravine. The question was raised whether it was not a will-o'-the-wisp that had misled the old man. A woman alleged that she had spoken with a shepherd who declared he had heard a cry for help; this, it is true, occurred about midnight, and Fualdes had left his house at eight o'clock. A stout tinker contended that the darkness had not been as dense as all believed; he him self had crossed the fields, on his way from La Valette, at nine o'clock, and the moon was then shining. The inspec tor of customs took him severely to task, and informed him that a new moon had made its appearance the day before, as one could easily find out by looking in the calendar. The tinker shrugged his shoulders, as if to say that in such con junctures even the calendar was not to be trusted.

Download or read book German Classics Vol 7 written by C. A. Buchheim and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Classics, Vol. 7: Heine's Prosa, Being Selections From His Prose Works In the Preface to the first edition of this volume, published towards the end of 1884, I recorded in full the reasons which induced me to present to English readers of German a Selection of representative pieces from Heine's prose writings. The success with which my Selections have met, both in the School Room and among the general public, and the favourable verdict of some of the principal journals in this country, as well as in America and Germany, fully dispense me from expatiating again on the raison d'etre of the present volume; and the more so as my estimate of Heine's great genius will be gathered from the following Biographical Introduction. I cannot refrain, however, from remarking with, I hope, legitimate satisfaction, that the principle which I followed in making the Selections and in annotating them has met with general approval. It is an acknowledged fact that the writings of no other German author require so much weeding and sifting as those of Heine. George Eliot, who was one of his warmest admirers, declared, 'Before his volumes are put within the reach of immature minds, there is need of a friendly penknife to exercise a strict censorship.' I would add, however, that this friendly service will be welcome, not only to immature, but also to mature minds, since the more anyone admires Heine's works the more he must wish that they were free from all coarse and licentious passages.

Download or read book Short History of German Literature Classic Reprint written by James K. Hosmer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short History of German Literature If we turn back two hundred years, we find the reading men of England, if they have time to go beyond their own authors, giving their attention, among moderns, to the Italians and Spanish. As yet in Europe only Italy and Spain, besides England, had seen the rise of literatures of sufficient moment to influence the cultivated world beyond the national limits. Dante, Petrarch, Boceaceio, Ariosto, Tasso, Machiavelli had lived, and these are still the greatest Italian names. In Spain, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and Calderon had done their work, - work which no succeeding writers of that land have equalled. If we go back one hundred years, the literature of France has taken the place in the estimation of the English once held by the writers of Spain and Italy; the brilliant men of the age of Louis XIV have laid the world under their spell. In our time, again, the influence of France has been, to a large extent, supplanted. Following especially the lead of two of the most gifted Englishmen of the century, Coleridge and Carlyle, the present generation turns with most reverence to the Germans, often regarding their literature as the most important in the world, after our own, if, indeed, we are to make that exception. It will scarcely be questioned that some knowledge of the history of German literature is, to English-speaking persons, an essential part of thorough culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.
