Описание: Originally published in 1965, this book was written to provide `a not too obtrusive guide` to German poetry from Luther`s time up until Brecht`s. The text consists of poems followed by questions, whose purpose is not to provoke an interpretation or to test knowledge so much as to suggest possible starting-points from which lines of thought or of imagination may run.
