The extensive scope of this collection means that this documentary
record of the reception of German literature in England is a
valuable scholarly resource. One of the most important features of
British literary and intellectual history over the past 250 years
is the influence of German literature. From the second half of the
18th Century, through the first decades of the 19th, German books
and ideas attracted, then gained the attention of a nation. Despite
the acknowledged importance of the influence on writers such as
Coleridge and Carlyle the subject, though often alluded to, was
rarely studied. This collection provides a guidebook through the
masses of periodical and allows the English side of the
Anglo-German literary relationship to be explored in detail. In
order to make the collection useful to scholars with a wide range
of interest, it has been divided into three parts: Part 1 is a
chronological presentation of commentary on German literature in
general. It also contains collective reviews of multiple German
authors, notices of important anthologies and reactions to
influential works about Germany and its culture. Part 2 collects
reviews of 18th Century individual German authors and Part 3 is
devoted to the English reception of Goethe and Schiller. Parts 2
& 3 contain cross-references to the collective reviews of Part
1. Containing over 200 British serials and articles and reviews
from all the major English literary periodicals, the collection
also includes a broad sampling of opinion from the more general
magazines, including some popular religious publications.
