Handel enjoyed considerable popularity at the end of the eighteenth
century, when his music was performed in London, Berlin, Leipzig,
Vienna and Breslau. However, interest in him had waned by the
mid-nineteenth century, when it was rekindled by a small group of
music-lovers including Georg Gervinus (1805 71), a historian of
literature based in Heidelberg. Gervinus lobbied for a Handel
memorial in Halle, was a founder of the first German Handel society
in 1856, and in 1858 published H ndel und Shakespeare, which drew
parallels between his favourite writer and favourite composer. In
it, after two long chapters on music history and aesthetics, he
compared their intellectual development and attributed the
similarities between them to their shared Germanic roots. Although
the book was not a great success in its day, it marked an important
turning point in European Handel studies, and is still referred to
today.
