The collection explores various literary themes and historical developments across genres and periods. It delves into the evolution of literary forms, such as the songbook from the 14th to 17th centuries, and examines the works of neoclassical poets like Arnoldus Goerinus. The annotation discusses significant motifs, including incest and recognition in 18th and 19th-century German comedy and tragedy, as well as the anthropological aspects of Schubart's song settings. It also highlights Goethe's critical reception of Jewish poetry and the complexities of his own narrative in "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre." The theological discussions in the final scene of "Faust II" are analyzed, alongside new findings about Friedrich von Hardenberg's later years. Various adaptations of folklore and fairy tales are examined, including those by Ludwig Achim von Arnim and the impact of the Brothers Grimm on Polish literature post-1945. The collection also addresses the interplay between literature and cultural history, as seen in Verdi's works and the writings of Ida Boy-Ed. It compares themes in plays by Ludwig Fulda and Henrik Ibsen, alongside explorations of Yvan Goll's adaptations of folk songs. The anthology concludes with reflections on the significance of literary catalogs, the typology of French literary derivatives, and insights from reader correspondence regarding proverbial expressions.
