The volume traces the cognitive changes to which the understanding
of literature was exposed from the late 16th century onwards.
Engagement with the literature of antiquity was determined by the
development of a philological form of criticism that was at odds
with Christian apologetics in a time of confessional dissension.
Seen thus, 'modern' literature from Opitz to Brockes appears as an
integral part of a much more comprehensive culture of scholarly
endeavour. The author paints a graphic picture of the unity and
tensions evident in the European respublica litteraria of the early
modern age, complete with the social and intellectual constants and
upheavals it was also subject to.
