Synopsis

This book analyzes German prose from the fifteenth century through the end of the eighteenth century, examining major works in terms of structure, diction, and rhythm. The author places the works within their historical and cultural contexts to show how they developed over time and offers new perspectives on the tradition of German prose as a conscious art form. The deep examination of the major works and figures of the period, including Luther, Fischart, Opitz, Gottsched, Bodmer, and Lessing, among others, makes this book an essential resource for students of German language and literature.
