Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the portrayal of German national unity in the German novel prior to 1870. It begins by outlining the traditional German incapacity for united action, with the author noting that the humiliation brought upon the nation by the destruction of the Holy Roman Empire led to a renewed desire for unity. The author then discusses the treatment given to German unity in the novel of the century up to 1870. It is noted that patriotic sentiment found little expression in German literature for many years, but that the early decades of the 19th century saw a change, with a number of poets such as Herder, Schiller and Arndt beginning to write works expressing their desire for a united Germany. The author also discusses the Romantic movement and its impact on the development of the German novel, noting that while the Romantics were not in favor of centralized government, they did believe in German unity This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
