Summary "Moderne Geister: Literarische Bildnisse aus dem neunzehnten Jahrhundert" by Georg Brandes is a collection of literary portraits written in the late 19th century. The work examines various influential figures in the literature of that time, seeking to portray their individuality and significance within the broader context of modern thought. Through a series of essays that emphasize the intertwining of artistic expression and intellectual ideas, Brandes aims to illuminate the unique characteristics that define these "modern spirits." At the start of the text, Brandes sets the tone by discussing the role of Danish authors in German literature while establishing his own position as a critic in the European literary scene. He notes the shifts in perceptions of what constitutes modernity, explaining that the essays within the collection serve as careful character studies of writers from different nationalities, offering insight into their contributions. The opening also outlines the author’s intent to provide a vivid portrayal of these literary figures, highlighting their distinctive traits and the broader cultural movements they represent, while emphasizing the complex interplay between individual creativity and the prevailing societal norms of the time.
