Présentation de l'éditeur
This work is a history of German literature from the earliest times to the death of Goethe. The first chapter traces the roots of German nationality back to the period preceding the A ryan separation, and presents a picture of the intellectual condition of our forefathers at the time when they became known to the Romans. The second chapter treats of the rise and development of the German hero-legends in the epoch of the migrations, and during the Merovingian period. The third chapter is devoted to the Mediaeval Renaissance, under the rule of the Carlovingians and the Ottos, the so-called Old High German period, the chief literary achievements of which consisted in prose and verse translations from the Bible, in short political songs and poetic tales, and in the Latin dramas of the nun Rosvitha. The fourth to the seventh chapters embrace the classical period of Middle High-G erman lyric and epic poetry, extending from about the eleventh to the middle of the fourteenth century. The eighth and ninth chapters include the next three hundred years, the period of transition from Middle High-G erman to New High-G erman. To this epoch belongs Luther stranslation of the Bible; the poetry of the period inclined to the drama, but no great literary masterpiece was produced. The tenth to the thirteenih chapters are devoted to the unfinished epoch in which we live, the New High-G erman period which began with the close of the Thirty Years War. I ts strength lies in lyric and epic poetry; and, in tracing its development from Paul Gerhardt to Goethe, I have given more space to it than to the earlier centuries.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
