Summary "German Culture Past and Present" by Ernest Belfort Bax is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text explores the social and intellectual life of Germany, particularly focusing on the transformative period from the end of the medieval era through the Reformation. It aims to shed light on little-known aspects of German culture during this pivotal time, emphasizing the origins of contemporary German character and societal structure. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the condition of medieval Europe at the close of the 15th century, illustrating how feudal structures were still outwardly intact but undergoing significant underlying changes that would lead to their disintegration. It highlights key factors, such as the advent of firearms, the rise of the merchant class, and the spread of the Renaissance, which contributed to a growing awareness of individual rights and an emergent capitalist economy. Bax hints at the socio-political struggles that would culminate in major upheavals, including the Reformation, suggesting that the tensions and transformations of this era were crucial in shaping modern German society.
