Author Description

"German Poetry presents literary history clearly, vividly and lively. It consistently follows the exemplary principle. Technical terminology is only used when necessary for proper understanding. The volume sets priorities that correspond to the needs of teaching practice: the literature of the 19th and 20th centuries takes up a lot of space, and contemporary literature and its important authors are presented detail. The development from the early Old High German period to the Baroque period is presented in a streamlined manner."--
