More than an
anthology, this text contains carefully chosen readings meant to guide the
student toward the appreciation of literature as a mirror of historical and
cultural events in
Germany
and neighboring countries.
Features
Each period contains and
introduction to that time period, a discussion of cultural topics and the
development of the German language, and ends with questions. Also
includes interesting and teachable original writings in Old High German.
Appropriate Course

Reviews
1,000 Jahre Deutsche
Literatur does
a marvelous job of presenting literary texts within their cultural contexts,
including an excellent overview of the history of the German Language from
Germanic times to the Enlightenment. Professor Clay's writing style is lively
and accessible. The accompanying pedagogical exercises reinforce learning of
the material, while also affording opportunities for independent thinking and
reflection. This newly-revised edition should be a favorite for students and
teachers alike.
