First Published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
First published in 1950. This present work examines the political,
economic and social condition of Germany on literature, particular
drama, in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries. The
author explores drama both in its passive and active relations with
the life of the time and with the theatre, the medium without the
aid of which the possibilities of the drama as an art form remain
only half realised. This title will be of interest to students of
literature, drama, and theatre studies.

"The present work . . . a continuation of the earlier [is] a study
of one literary genre, the drama . . . both in its passive and
active relations with the life of the time and with the theatre,
the medium without the aid of which the possibilities of the drama
as an art form remain only half realized, like a musical score
which is never performed." from the author's preface
In a lecture in 1923, Thomas Mann said that the ordinary
middle-class German had never considered culture to include an
interest in politics, and still did not do so. The idea of the true
freedom which comes to the man who lives as much as possible in the
invisible world of culture and accepts as a kind of fate his
social, political and material circumstances was indeed at the
heart of the German idealism of Goethe's day, and unworldliness
went along with very great achievements in literature, scholarship
and philosophy. Bildung, self-cultivation, came to be as natural a
requirement of educated, middle-class life as sport was in England.
In this book, originally published in 1975, Professor Bruford
provides a sequel to Culture and Society in Classical Weimar 1775
1806 and shows how the ideal of self-cultivation entered into the
thought of a number of highly individual German philosophers,
theologians, poets and novelists, each in his own corner of the
rapidly changing world of the nineteenth century.

A paperback of the hardcover edition, first published in 1962. The
book describes Goethe's Weimar from documents and research and
interprets the connections between German culture and German
society both in the age of Goethe and later. To this book Professor
Bruford has written a sequel, The German Tradition of
Self-Cultivation, and the two books together offer an introduction
to the whole evolution of the German intellectual tradition.
From the balls and masquerades of the court to the half-naked
children of the peasants; from hunting and winter sports to details
of authorship and publishing; from law to sanitation, this 1935
book plunges the reader into life in Germany two hundred years ago.
The author links everyday life and current traditions with some of
the outstanding features in the literature and thought of the age,
thus providing a full picture of the political, economic and social
background to the intellectual and artistic achievements of the
period. In the process he has brought out some of the enduring
processes of German life.
