Originally published in 1935, this book provides a study of the
powerful influence exercised by Ancient Greek culture on German
writers from the eighteenth century onwards. The text takes as its
starting point Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-68), who was of
fundamental importance to the introduction of Hellenistic ideas
within the German intellectual tradition. This is followed by a
chronological discussion of other key figures, such as Goethe,
Schiller and Heine, revealing the complicated relationship between
these ideas and the expression of an explicitly Germanic identity.
A detailed index and bibliography are also included, together with
illustrative figures. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in German literature, Ancient Greece and literary
criticism.
