German culture has been central to Europe, & it has contributed the transforming spirit of Lutheran religion, the technology of printing as a medium of democracy, the soulfulness of Romantic philosophy, the structure of higher education, & the tradition of liberal socialism to the essential character of modern American life. In this book leading scholars & critics capture the spirit of this culture in some 200 original essays on events in German literary history. Rather than offering a single continuous narrative, the entries focus on a particular literary work, an event in the life of an author, a historical moment, a piece of music, a technological invention, even a theatrical or cinematic premiere. Together they give the reader a surprisingly unified sense of what it is that has allowed Meister Eckhart, Hildegard of Bingen, Luther, Kant, Goethe, Beethoven, Benjamin, Wittgenstein, Jelinek, & Sebald to provoke & enchant their readers. From the earliest magical charms & mythical sagas to the brilliance & desolation of 20th-century fiction, poetry, & film, this illuminating reference book invites readers to experience the full range of German literary culture & to investigate for themselves its disparate & unifying themes. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Harvard's New History of German Literature' is an INCOMPARABLE encyclopedic browser for Germano-philes & Germano-phobes alike.
