Book Description
Excerpt from The Literature and Romance of Northern Europe, Vol. 1 of 2: Constituting a Complete History of the Literature Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland, With Copious Specimens of the Most Celebrated Histories, Romances, Popular Legends and Tales, Old Chivalrous Ballads, Tragic and Comic Dramas, National and Favourite So WE have stated, in the body of the work, our surprise at the comparative ignorance which has prevailed in this country of the literature of a people so allied to us by race and tone of mind as the Scandinavians Many cir cumstances of late years have indicated a tendency to the cultivation of a better acquaintance with what is so worthy of being known. We trust that these volumes, the result of no ordinary labour amongst whole libraries of Northern works, will do much towards advancing that acquaintance and the opening up of a new and extensive source of intellectual pleasure amongst English readers. There was a time, and not so very distant, when German authors, now so fully estimated, were as much neglected here; but we believe no such instance of mingled ignorance and ludicrous conceit, as it regards a foreign literature, is to be found as the following, within anything like so recent a period.

The Litterature and Romance of Northern Europe
Kierkegaard and His German Contemporaries: Literature and aesthetics
Author: Jon Bartley Stewart
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9780754662860
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
This third tome is dedicated to the German literary sources that were significant for Kierkegaard; in particular the work of authors from German Classicism and Romanticism. Important forerunners for many of Kierkegaard's literary motifs and characters can be found in the German literature of the day. His use of pseudonyms and his interest in irony were both profoundly influenced by German Romanticism. This volume demonstrates the extent to which Kierkegaard's views of criticism and aesthetics were decisively shaped by the work of German authors.
