Excerpt from Selections From Early German Literature When this work had already made much progress, there appeared, in 1907, a similar collection, intended like the present one for Amer ican and English students. It did not seem necessary, however, ou this account to disoontinue the present work. There is no reason why there should not exist several readers in German literature, as little as there is any objection to the existence of more than one German grammar.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Anthology Of German Literature This book is designed to accompany an introductory study of the his tory of German literature. It is assumed that the history itself will be learned, so far as may be necessary, either from lectures or from some other book devoted to the subject. I have tried to make a good anthology for students who have learned to read the language of Goethe and Schiller with some facility, and would like to know something of the earlier periods, but have not studied, and may not care to study, Old and Middle German. On this account the selections in Part First are given in modern German translations. The original texts are omitted because space was very precious and the book was intended as an aid to literary rather than linguistic study. In making the selections my first principle was to give a good deal of the best rather than a little of everything. I wished to make friends for medieval German poetry, and it seemed to me that this could best be done by showing it in its strength and its beauty. So I have ignored much that might have had a historical or linguistic interest for the scholar, and have steadily applied the criterion of literary worth.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of German Literature IN writing this volume, it was my task to compress more than a thousand years of literary history into a volume of about four hundred pages. The book was not to be a collection of sheaths garnered here and there in favourite fields, but a real history, dealing with the whole subject coherently and with due regard to the relative importance of periods, writers, and writings. As it was evident that I should be obliged to omit freely and boldly, I decided, first of all, to omit the scholars, philosophers, and men of science, that is, to confine myself pretty closely to literature in the restricted English sense of the word. The broader conception of literature is no doubt the more philosophic, but it is less convenient for a writer who must economise space at every step. The German genius has done much of its best work in scholarship, philosophy, and science, but I was not writing a history of the German genius.

Book Description
Excerpt from The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries: Masterpieces of German Literature Translated Into English French influences, almost as early as Hebrew or German, were among the formative forces brought to bear upon the quick-witted but not precocious boy. Heine's parents were orthodox, but by no means bigoted Jews. We read with amazement that one of the plans of the mother, ambitious for her firstborn, was to make of him a Roman Catholic priest. The boy's father, Samson Heine, was a' rather nu successful member of a family which in other representa tives - particularly Samson's brother Salomon in Hamburg - attained to wealth and prominence in the world of finance.

Book Description
Excerpt from Early Influence of German Literature in America It is in the nature of things impossible to draw a sharp boundary line between different phases of literary development. It has been deemed advisable, however, to confine these observa tions to a period including and antedating the first quarter of our century. This is a period upon which the historian looks with somewhat unj ustifiable soreness of heart it is the time of plentiful American reprints of the issues of the English press, with but few original contributions of any value. The mournful complaint of the American author of the time about want of encouragement dins in our ears on turning over the pages of long-forgotten American reviews. It was hard for him to realize, or, when realized, to acquiesce in the fact that it was impossible for him to compete with the accepted classics of English literature and the new developments of the end of the last and beginning of the new century. A literary movement, however, cannot be made to order, and we do well to derive some satisfaction from the fact that the American public, with much trash, read much that was valuable, even though not a native product.

Book Description
Excerpt from German Literature Central europe, from the Adriatic to the Baltic, is occupied by a people, who, however divided politically into states, form socially, and as respects race and language, but one nation. The name Germans, which we assign to this great people, is that given to them by the Romans: the distinctive app ellation which they apply to themselves is Deutsch, a term derived from Teutones, by which they were generally known, as also by the name Goths, in the early history of Europe. A section of this Teutonic or Gothic people from Saxony settled in England, and hence an affinity between the speech of the English and their German ancestors. Some words in the language of the Germans are traced to the Sanscrit, one of the most ancient forms of speech, from which it is reasonable to conclude that the Teutones have an eastern origin. In its vast prolificness of words, however, in its independence of Greek and Latin, or any modern tongue, and what may be called its bold originality, the German language is exceedingly remark able. French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, are all broken dialects of the Latin; English is a compound of Latin and anglo-saxon, with modern draughts from Greek and French. The German is one and indivisible; excepting for its remote connection with the ancient Sanscrit, and for certain mediaeval improvements, it might be called, as it stands, a purely original tongue. It is of the lite rature - the written thoughts - of the great people who speak this language that we now propose to treat - a literature which has become one of the most varied and extensive in Europe.
