Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Popular Epics of the Middle Ages of the Norse-German and Carlovingian Cycles, Vol. 2 In Vilmar´s History of the National Literature of Germany,´ (an able and interesting work, and which has perhaps only missed being a first-rate one through that amazing national conceit of contemporary Germans which pervades it, with its consequent undervaluing and ignoring of foreign nations and their achievements), it is claimed as the unique prerogative of Germany, that she has had two "classical periods," has twice "stood on the summit of the ×" whilst the writer speaks elsewhere of the French as having been led to take up the Arthurian legend partly through their "almost complete want of national epic poetry" (eines Nationalepos). All three assertions are surely equally unfounded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
