Opis

This is the first study to demonstrate the impact of Puritan literature on the development of German language and literature in the 17th century and beyond. It crosses the boundaries of theology, literature, and the English and German traditions to show that 18th-century secular thinking on introspection, psychology and subjectivity has its roots in vocabulary used in Germany as early as 1665 through the translation of figures such as Daniel Dyke and Richard Baxter.
