Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Cambridge Songs are preserved - many of them uniquely - in a
famous eleventh-century manuscript held in Cambridge University
Library. Composed in Germany, mostly in Latin but with some
vernacular sections, these lyrics are most notable for the variety
they display in both genre and form. As one of the earliest
examples of medieval secular song-writing they are a key part of
the canon of European literature. This 1915 edition was the first
to reproduce the complete text with facing-page transcriptions.
Karl Breul, originally from Berlin, became the first university
lecturer in German in 1884, and remained the most eminent Germanist
at Cambridge until his death in 1932. His edition continues to be
of value to medievalists today both as a source for the study of
these remarkable poems and as a record of Breul's achievement in
scholarship and palaeography.
First published in 1909, as the fourth edition of an 1898 original,
this book presents a discussion of the educational process in
relation to modern languages. The text is divided into two main
sections: the first relates to the teaching of modern languages in
secondary schools; the second relates to the training of modern
language teachers. A bibliography is included and notes are
incorporated throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with
an interest in the development of modern language teaching and the
history of education.
Originally published in 1896 as part of the Pitt Press Series, this
book contains the German text for the last drama in Schiller's
Wallenstein trilogy, Wallenstein's Tod. The play is introduced in
great depth by celebrated German scholar Karl Breul, who also wrote
the detailed notes on the play that feature at the end of the
volume. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
Schiller or in German drama more generally.
This 1924 second edition of Gustav Freytag's Aus Dem Staat
Friedrichs des Grossen was edited by Karl Breul of Cambridge
University. The original edition, published in 1877, was compiled
by Wilhelm Wagner. Breul, whilst preserving the majority of
Wagner's work, has edited and updated the text's notes, as well as
appending a number of poems on Frederick the Great to Freytag's
text. Gustav Freytag was a scholar of German antiquity, early
German literature and the origins of German drama. He was also a
journalist, biographer and historian with a fervent political mind.
His Aus Dem Staat Friedrichs des Grossen is a 'Picture of the
German Past', a text where an individual's thoughts and motivations
are imagined and presented within a historical framework. Freytag's
text thus acts as an invaluable introduction to the life and
characteristics of Frederick the Great and will appeal to students
of German history and literature alike.
The Reinaert Fragments are a collection of seven pages of a Middle
Dutch poem attributed to the fifteenth-century Flemish writer
Hinrek van Alckmer, and printed in Antwerp in about 1487. This
book, originally published in 1927, contains photographic
reproductions of the pages, alongside clear transcriptions of the
text and three beautiful woodcut illustrations. Karl Breul's
detailed introduction sketches the history and development of the
story of Reynard the Fox, from its origins in oral tradition and
the medieval beast epic to Goethe's famous 'Reinecke Fuchs',
indicating the place of the Reinaert poem amongst the various verse
and prose versions. The book also includes a corrected version of
the van Alckmer fragments, and examines their relationship with the
Reinaert II and Reinke texts. The book will be useful to those
studying Middle Dutch and Middle Low German literature or printing
history, and others interested in the Reynard story.
Originally published in 1913, this book contains the German text of
Schiller's tragedy Die Braut von Messina, which caused controversy
at its debut for its incorporation of a variety of tropes from
ancient theatre. Breul includes a long introduction on the history
and reception of the play, its relationship with classical drama
and a synopsis, as well as parallel passages from Aeschylus,
Schiller and Goethe, and relevant extracts from Schiller's
correspondence in the notes following the text. This book will be
of value to anyone with an interest in the reception of classical
theatre or Schiller.
