Acerca de este libro electrónico

A new translation of Gottfried Keller's Romanticism and the Present (Die Romantik und die Gegenwart) followed by an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of his life and works and an index of his works. Here Keller makes a clear argument that he basically shares the views of the German realists in the field of aesthetics. He argues that poetry requires a favorable terrain or good soil on which its entities can operate and live accordingly but also that every landscape also needs "its poetic inhabitants." Here he elucidates his political philosophy which he dramatically and artistically extrapolates upon in his later works. To Keller, literary moderation results from the historical fact that the liberal revolution of 1848 was successful in Switzerland.

Acerca del autor

One of Nietzsche's favorite living poets (the only real Swiss poet in his opinion, Keller was a major Swiss poet and writer, Keller is best known for his novel "Green Henry" (German: "Der grüne Heinrich"). His work is representative of the Realist movement, which sought to depict life and society as they were. Keller's stories often reflect the conflict between individual creative drives and the constraints of society. His novel "The People of Seldwyla" was one of Nietzsche's favorite.
