Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The German Lyric A short history of the German lyric for English sh readers should need no apology. It is almost universally admitted that in music and in song the German genius has achieved more success than in any other sphere of artistic activity. Their music we have made our own, but it cannot be said that we know their poetry adequately. Some very great lyricists, Morike, Storm, Keller, Meyer, Liliencron, are still known only to students and specialists: we possess neither biographies of these authors in English nor translations of their poems. This is all the more surprising in that German lyric poetry is as a rule so easy to read, so pleasing in its melody, and so much nearer in spirit to our own than the lyrics of France or Italy, or Greece. Like our own, it has a development of seven hundred years behind it. It has its periods of brilliance, and other epochs when poetry lies dormant or seems stifled by unfavourable circumstances. The most barren ages are the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
