Opis: Social Forces in German Literature - Francke Kuno

Excerpt from Social Forces in German Literature: A Study in the History of Civilization

The following attempt to define what seem to me the essential features of German literature is made from the point of view of the student of civilization rather than from that of the linguistic scholar or the literary critic.

My own university studies under such men as Giesebrecht, Brunn, Erwin Rohde, Paulsen; my subsequent work under Georg Waitz; and the part taken by me in editing for the Monumenta Germani Historica the controversial writings of the eleventh and twelfth centuries - all this has naturally led me to look at the substance rather than the form of literature, to see in literature primarily the working of popular forces, to consider it chiefly as an expression of national culture.
