Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... SECTION VIII THE SIDE LIGHTS Strictly speaking, literary "schools" have not been numerous in Germany. There have not been many instances where a number of poets--more than two--holding a common doctrine, accepting the same teachings, exhibiting in practice the same general methods and intellectual bent, have banded together and made propaganda for a common cause. The very fact that a man is a poet is proof positive that he is different from other men, including other poets, and there never were even two poets exactly or even nearly alike. To have a successful school, there must be good teamwork; and to have this, a long series of similarities on the part of the participants is necessary. We can speak of the First Silesian School (1625-75), the Second Silesian School (1650-1700), the (c)otthtger ain (1767-1800), Storm and Stress (176787), the Berlin-Jena Romantic School (1798-1801), the Heidelberg Romantic School (1806-08) and Young Germany (1830-48) with more or less propriety, and with that the list of " schools" is about complete. Goethe and Schiller established a Classical School (1794-1805) at Weimar only in the sense that they wrote poetry of a high order, which found many imitators and many more readers and admirers. But it is with a school as with a triangle, or with jealousy: it requires three parts to complete it. And then a school is unlike a triangle, or jealousy, in that more than three parts will tend to make it more nearly perfect, more enduring and effective. In the case of the twenty-eight poets, grouped under this rubric, we have to do with a number of men each one of whom went his own way and accomplished something that makes him unforgetable. They lived in the age of Romanticism and were not merely influenced.
Excerpt from An Outline of German Romanticism This outline was prepared for the benefit of advanced students and those who teach advanced students. Suggested by unforgetable experience, it is the outgrowth of an impelling desire to enrich the efforts of those who give and to clarify the labors of those who receive. An attempt has been made to compile a textbook, a sort of literary almanac, that would cost but little in money and would save much time. Neither history nor prophecy can point to a century so abounding in spiritual phenomena as the one between 1766 and 1866, and the middle half of it is the richest. And the period from 1790 to 1815, the age of systematic Romanticism, admits of so many different methods of approach, that unless the master is able to eliminate the conventional, the scattered facts about which there is no dispute, the disciple will not be able to assimilate the essential, the meaning of the literature itself, about which there is so much discussion and on which, incidentally, the course is really supposed to be given. Data are as important in literature as in science; fancy always starts from facts. But when a teacher of literature is giving facts, he is giving what can be derived from many other sources, he is being unoriginal.
