Excerpt from The Minnesinger of Germany Long before Chaucer had fathered English poetry, and Spain and Italy had developed their languages to that purity which alone makes possible great achievements in the literary arts, Germany had passed through a period of splendor in the art of poetry, which even the period of the last century has not surpassed, and in some respects scarcely equaled. It was in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, under the glorious reign of the Hohenstauffens, amidst the turmoil of the Crusades, and whilst the sublime conceptions of the cathedrals of, Strassburg and Cologne were being wrought out, that there sprang up in Germany, as if by magic, that wonderful craft of Minnesinger, which lasted throughout a century and then gradually expired the grace and beauty of their singing appearing no more in German literature until Goethe struck anew the old tone, and thus heralded the dawn of the second brilliant period of German poetry.

This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia Literaria. His critical work, especially on Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking culture.

Batts analyses the kinds of predisposition, or bias, displayed by the authors of these works, and accounts for the persistence of certain biases over a long period of time. Histories of German literature published in other western European countries, Britain, and North America are also evaluated to determine to what extent, if any, a particular (i.e., non-German) attitude towards German literature is characteristic of a given country. The recognition of personal, religious, national, and other biases is important since the stereotypical image of the people of a given country is strongly influenced by the manner in which their literature is portrayed. Batts concludes that the history of German literature as it developed in the nineteenth century has doubly distorted history. The selection of works for inclusion in the histories on subjective grounds of "quality" conceals the fact that other, "inferior," works may in their time have had a far greater impact. As well, the authors of the histories fail to discuss those works from the past that are still being read.
