Excerpt from A Primer of German Literature This little volume aims at nothing more ambitious than to give an outline of the growth of German literature; but while it may serve as an introduction to a more in timate acquaintance with the subject, the author hopes that readers who, without the leisure to pursue the study in larger works, may wish to know something of the men and women whose genius has illuminated the intellectual progress of Germany, may find this Primer sufficiently comprehensive to satisfy that desire. The author is gratified to learn from her publishers that a sixth edition of this Primer has been called for, and has sought, by a thorough revision, to make it worthy of continued approval for the object for which it was prepared.

Excerpt from A History of German Literature IN writing this volume, it was my task to compress more than a thousand years of literary history into a volume of about four hundred pages. The book was not to be a collection of sheaths garnered here and there in favourite fields, but a real history, dealing with the whole subject coherently and with due regard to the relative importance of periods, writers, and writings. As it was evident that I should be obliged to omit freely and boldly, I decided, first of all, to omit the scholars, philosophers, and men of science, that is, to confine myself pretty closely to literature in the restricted English sense of the word. The broader conception of literature is no doubt the more philosophic, but it is less convenient for a writer who must economise space at every step. The German genius has done much of its best work in scholarship, philosophy, and science, but I was not writing a history of the German genius.

Excerpt from An Anthology Of German Literature This book is designed to accompany an introductory study of the his tory of German literature. It is assumed that the history itself will be learned, so far as may be necessary, either from lectures or from some other book devoted to the subject. I have tried to make a good anthology for students who have learned to read the language of Goethe and Schiller with some facility, and would like to know something of the earlier periods, but have not studied, and may not care to study, Old and Middle German. On this account the selections in Part First are given in modern German translations. The original texts are omitted because space was very precious and the book was intended as an aid to literary rather than linguistic study. In making the selections my first principle was to give a good deal of the best rather than a little of everything. I wished to make friends for medieval German poetry, and it seemed to me that this could best be done by showing it in its strength and its beauty. So I have ignored much that might have had a historical or linguistic interest for the scholar, and have steadily applied the criterion of literary worth.

Excerpt from The German Classics: Masterpieces of German Literature The news of the occurrence spread rapidly, and all through the day two or three hundred people from Rodez - men, women, and children - were standing on both shores staring with a look of fascination and self-induced horror into the depths of the ravine. The question was raised whether it was not a will-o'-the-wisp that had misled the old man. A woman alleged that she had spoken with a shepherd who declared he had heard a cry for help; this, it is true, occurred about midnight, and Fualdes had left his house at eight o'clock. A stout tinker contended that the darkness had not been as dense as all believed; he him self had crossed the fields, on his way from La Valette, at nine o'clock, and the moon was then shining. The inspec tor of customs took him severely to task, and informed him that a new moon had made its appearance the day before, as one could easily find out by looking in the calendar. The tinker shrugged his shoulders, as if to say that in such con junctures even the calendar was not to be trusted.

Excerpt from Selections From Early German Literature While from an ideal point of view it might seem desirable that students of German literature should be acquainted with Old and Middle High German, yet such a plan would, of course, be impracticable for elementary College classes and for High Schools. On the other hand, students of German literature should have an occasion to become acquainted with abstracts, at least, or specimens of the authors discussed by the instructor; and it would appear preferable to have such specimens in Modern German rather than to lay them before the pupils in an English translation, because it is possible in this way to keep nearer to the originals as regards both the form and the spirit. The editor's intention was to make use of such translations only in which the meter of the original is observed. A few exceptions from this rule, however, proved necessary in cases where no suitable translations in the original meter were available (Nos. 42 and 43, 49-51, 61, 70-81). A few specimens of alliterative poetry from Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon have been added, which, though not strictly belonging to Ger-man literature, yet serve to illustrate, and are almost necessary for the understanding of contemporary Old High German and Old Low German poetry. While the order of the selections is chronological, an exception to this rule has been made in case of the younger versions of the story of Hildebrand and Hadubrand (Nos. 5 and 6). Nor did it seem advisable to separate the A.-S. Waldhere Fragments (Nos. 40 and 41) from the Waltharius Manu Fortis. As regards orthography and punctuation, it seemed preferable to adopt the present official rules rather than to preserve the more or less different methods in the various versions. Otherwise these versions have been altered as little as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
