Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Outline of German Romanticism
Grillparzer made a Romanticist, and so on. And as to inaccessible books, Goedeke is replete with references to works unattainable in this country and difficult of access in Germany. Any general history of German literature of about five hundred pages discusses about eight hundred different writers. Manifestly in such a work facts and interpretation must walk lock-step, so that it is impossible to make the one complete by condensation or the other definitive by elaboration. But by giving undisturbed atten tion to a single phase of a single period, it is possible to settle one thing: it is possible to reduce the Philistinism of the course to a minimum and thereby enable the students to spend their limited time on that which is eternally worth while, on the literature pure and simple.
