It was not deemed necessary to introduce specimens of popular poetry, as Prof. H. S. White's Deutsche Volks lieder affords ample Opportunity for the study of that rich part of German literature which reflects the life of the people, especially dur ing the vigorous sixteenth century. On the other hand, an effort was made to select some of the most popular student-songs, inasmuch as they are the expression of a very interesting side of German life.

Deutsche Gedichte: Selected With Notes and an Introduction (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a captivating selection of German lyrical and ballad poetry from the dawn of the classical era to the nineteenth century. It gathers a range of works from poets whose influence helped usher in a new literary landscape and subsequently shaped the German literary tradition. The anthology opens with the Sturm und Drang period, a time of heightened emotionality and rebellion against established literary forms. Authors like Goethe, Schiller, and Klopstock brought a new level of passion and authenticity to their writing, as exemplified by the inclusion of Goethe's "Prometheus" and Schiller's "An die Freude" in this selection. However, the era's influence is not limited to these major figures. The book also includes works by lesser-known but equally significant poets such as Lenz, Maler Müller, and Schubart. Their contributions rounded out the movement's aesthetics and extended its impact. Furthermore, this volume delves into the German Romantic period, represented by poets such as Eichendorff, Heine, and Uhland, who introduced a fascination with the Middle Ages, the supernatural, and the power of imagination. Lastly, the collection acknowledges that the literary currents of the prior eras provided the bedrock for the emergence of a strong tradition of political poetry in the nineteenth century. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive and diverse representation of the evolution of German lyrical and ballad poetry. The poems not only stand as exceptional works on their own but also provide insights into major literary movements, making this anthology a valuable resource for anyone interested in German literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334127090_0
