A Brief History of German Literature

(germany) Heinz Schlafeld

93K0

The great works of German literature came belatedly: only after the classical era of Italian, French or Spanish literature did the German works that we now count as world literature appear. This small but illuminating literary history traces the onset of this delay. All literary histories are written based on the presentation of literary history, but the study of "A Brief History of German Literature" rarely adopts a serious debate method. It is believed that those who do German studies should first ask themselves: Have they avoided the Germanness that has been widely criticized but has never been identified in literary research? Have you subconsciously closed your eyes in front of things you don't want to see (such as forgetfulness and wrong judgment)? In "A Brief History of German Literature", Schlafeld sought to establish a new causal relationship.
