| Summary | "The Influence of India and Persia on the Poetry of Germany" by Arthur F. J. Remy is a scholarly study written in the early 20th century. This work investigates the significant impact that Indo-Iranian literature had on German poetry, focusing particularly on the 19th century in Germany, a time marked by a notable Orientalist movement. Through a systematic exploration, the book addresses how various poets incorporated Eastern themes and styles into their works, illustrating a cultural and literary exchange between the East and West. At the start of this analytical work, the author provides an overview of the limited but intriguing knowledge that medieval Europe possessed concerning India and Persia. He discusses sources of information, including ancient travelers and classical writers who often combined truth with fiction in their descriptions. Furthermore, Remy examines how this indirect knowledge spurred an increasing interest in Eastern poetic forms and stories into German literature, setting the stage for the later direct influences on prominent poets such as Goethe, Schiller, and Rückert. The opening portion establishes a foundation for understanding the dynamic interaction between two diverse literary worlds and outlines the scope of the book's investigation.
