Summary "An Anthology of German Literature" by Calvin Thomas is a collection of literary works written in the early 20th century. The anthology presents a curated selection of German literature from the earliest times up to the 16th century, aiming to highlight the literary merits of various texts while providing educational insights for students of the language. The selections range from heroic poetry to medieval and early modern works, emphasizing the depth and character of German literary heritage. The beginning of the anthology includes a preface by the author, who outlines his goals for the collection: to serve as a companion to a history of German literature while focusing on literary rather than linguistic study. He explains his choice to present modern German translations of older texts, aiming to make them accessible to students who may not have the background to read Old or Middle German. The opening chapters introduce notable works, including fragments of ancient heroic poetry and early Christian texts, showcasing their historical context and cultural significance in the development of German literature. Each selection is designed to engage readers with the aesthetic and thematic qualities of the original texts, fostering a deeper appreciation for the works presented in the anthology.
