Excerpt from The Spirit of Modern German Lectures: Lectures Delivered Before the University of Wisconsin
This small volume is not polemical in spirit or intention. When, however, through the kind ness of my friend Professor A. R. Hohlfeld, the University of Wisconsin invited me to lecture on some phase of modern German literature, an ap propriate opportunity seemed provided for recall ing to the calmer and more reflective among us the true character of the clearest self-expression of modern Germany.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of German literature, especially from 1885 to the brink of WWI when German authors sought profound truths and raw realities in art. The author maintains that the most significant literary movement of this period was Naturalism, which aimed to grasp the sensory and physical world with merciless accuracy. Significant themes include the psychological motivations of human action and particularly, the emotional lives of people, which the author claims âthis bookâ investigates with unprecedented insight. Thus, this fascinating book sheds new light on late 19th-early 20th century German literature and enriches our understanding of human nature.
