Summary "The German Classics from the Fourth to the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 1 (of 2)" is a collection of significant German literary works compiled and translated by F. Max Müller in the late 19th century. This volume aims to showcase a selection of notable prose and poetry spanning from the early medieval period to the 19th century, providing readers with an understanding of the development of German literature over the centuries. The collection serves as an important resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike who are interested in the evolution of literary expression in Germany. At the start of this anthology, readers are introduced to a wide array of historical texts and literary excerpts, beginning with the Gothic translation of the Bible by Ulfilas, and progressing through an assortment of prayer, poetry, and epic tales reflective of ancient Germanic culture and Christian influence. The opening sections include the "Wessobrunner Gebet," an alliterative prayer, and fragments of key literary works like "Das Hildebrandslied" and "Einhard's Life of Charlemagne," setting the stage for deeper exploration of the rich tapestry of German literary heritage throughout the ages. This collection not only highlights key texts but also serves as a guide for understanding their context within the history of German literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
