Dlb 133: Nineteenth-Century German Writers to 1840

By Gale Cengage Learning and Siegfried Mews

The death of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1832 was widely viewed as the end of the classical-idealistic period in German literary and intellectual history, and thebeginning of a new phase ofuncertain direction. This, as well as Germanys 19th-century political and social unrest, resulted in the emergence of authors of both progressive and conservative viewpoints. So diverse were their beliefs and prose styles, that these writers were grouped together by their specific convictions.
