Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the literary movement of pseudo-classicism in 17th and 18th century Germany. It begins by providing context to the vast changes that shook the country during the Thirty Years' War, arguing that the subsequent social and political fragmentation of Germany led to a literary shift towards formal correctness as writers modeled their work on the perceived elegance of Latin literature. The author illustrates the ways in which German writers embraced and adapted the conventions of French classicism, and shows how the resulting pseudo-classicism differed from its French counterpart. The book also discusses the ways in which this movement both reflected and influenced the broader intellectual and cultural trends of the time. Ultimately, this book provides a thorough examination of a significant literary movement, offering insights into its causes, characteristics, and significance.
