| Summary | "Buch von der Deutschen Poeterey" by Martin Opitz is a foundational treatise on German poetry written in the early 17th century. This work explores the principles and techniques of poetry, emphasizing the importance of aesthetic qualities and intellectual rigor in poetic composition. It serves as a guide for poets, delving into the historical context, theories, and characteristics of German poetry while aiming to elevate the status of the German language in literature. The opening of the text presents Opitz's intentions in writing the book, which arose from a desire to provide guidance in the art of poetry at the request of prominent individuals. He acknowledges the complexities of creating poetry and expresses that it cannot be taught through rigid rules but is cultivated through practice and innate talent. Opitz discusses the historical evolution of poetry, asserting its roots in divine themes and human expression, ultimately laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of the elements that define German poetic traditions. He raises the necessity of nurturing an appreciation for poetic art in Germany, arguing for its cultural significance and its role in the intellectual landscape.
