Book Description:

The various histories of German literature are not only general presentations of the research carried out, they have an existence of their own. They arose at the same time as literary research, but developed independently, at times in opposition to research.
It is the author's endeavour to trace these histories up to the first large, comprehensive work (Gervinus).
