Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book critically examines the German Baroque literature of the 17th century, particularly its significant divergence from its European counterparts. In the context of widespread Reformation, Humanism, and scientific rationalism, German literary taste developed a unique predilection for form over substance. The author argues that this emphasis on aesthetics spurred German poets to imitate rather than emulate foreign models. They favored employing borrowed forms and conceits rather than delving into the emotional or imaginative depths of their subjects. The resulting literary landscape was characterized by an abundance of derivative poetry and drama, revealing a profound disparity between the spirit of the age and its artistic expression. In an era defined by upheaval and transformation, German Baroque literature emerged as a testament to the enduring tension between imitation and innovation in artistic endeavors.
