Abstract

THE CLASSICAL AND THE ROMANTIC ERAS By F. J. STOPP Lecturer in German in the University of Cambridge and E. C. STOPP N a survey of work done in two continents on what is perhaps I the most widely studied period of German literature, it would be a stout heart indeed which claimed to discern general trends of research or any widespread agreement on critical method. In assessing, further, the quantity, quality and distribution of original work, it must not be forgotten how much devoted labour the present generation of senior Germanisten in German-speaking countries are putting into solid and authorita­ tive editions of their national classics: Hamann, Goethe, Schiller and Holderlin, to mention only the leading projects. But in examining the subjects and relative distribution of articles and theses, the present contributors, during four years of collection, collation and comment, have wondered whether original work is not at present, both among established scholars and younger men (and the Doktoranden of today are the scholars of tomorrow), too much in the leading strings of academic of instruction.
