Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from From Opitz to Lessing: A Study of Pseudo-Classicism in Literature
See how closely the various nations kept step together. Until this is done, our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete; the relation of different authors to one an other is often only intelligible when we see it more brilliantly illustrated in another country. After this work is finished, there will remain the task of ascertaining ex actly to what extent each nation modified the general course of literary movement; what was the national equation, so to speak, of each country. When this is ascertained, the period treated will be really known; until then it will not. Be fully comprehended. This volume is offered to the public as a slight essay to show how like were some of the early movements in different countries.
