Über das Studium der griechischen Poesie, 1795-1797

SUNY Series: Intersections: Philosophy and Critical Theory

by Friedrich Schlegel

While ostensibly an examination of classical Greek poetry, Friedrich Schlegel s On the Study of Greek Poetry is a signal document in the development of German Romantic aesthetics. In it, Schlegel outlines the development of classical and post-classical cultures, showing clearly that an entirely new mode of cultural production is necessary. On the Study of Greek Poetry has been at the center of the discussions of German Romanticism by German scholars such as Peter Szondi and Manfred Frank, and this translation makes an important text in the genesis of German Romanticism available for the first time in English. The book also includes a critical introduction as well as annotations that elucidate Schlegel s numerous allusions."

Menos legal que os fragmentos, mas o problema real é a tradução, que confunde mau com mal (!) e tropeça pelas crases erradas até a penúltima página do livro.
