Opis

Originally published in 1977, this volume gives a co-hesive overview of Franco-German literary relationships and discerns the dynamics and outlines the structure of the interrelationship. The two literatures develop in a broadly similar direction in the19th Century, but there is a puzzling time-lag which forms the focal point of enquiry.
