An Anthology Of German Literature (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Anthology Of German LiteratureThis book is designed to accompany an introductory study of the history of German literature. It is assumed that the history itself will be learned, so far as necessary, either from lectures or from some other book devoted to the subject. As the selections were made, for the most part, while I was writing my own short history of German literature for the series published under the general editorship of Mr. Edmund Gosse and known as Literatures of the World, it was natural that the Anthology should take on, to some extent, the charac ter of a companion book to the History. At the same time I did not desire that either book should necessarily involve the use of the other. Hence the absence of cross references, and hence also, in the An thology, the brief introductory notes, giving important dates and sum mary characterizations. These are meant to enable the student to read the Selections intelligently without constant recourse to some other book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
