About this book

Johann Gottfried Herder’s paraphrase of the Apocalypse Maran Atha (1779) and Johann Caspar Lavater’s “Messiah” epics (1780/1783–1786) provide evidence that the tradition of Christian verse did not end, by any means, with the completion of Klopstock’s “Messiah,” as has been assumed by literary historians. Based on Herder's and Lavater’s works, this study is the first detailed examination of the importance of German Christian verse after Klopstock.

Reviews

"The comparison of these three authors reveals distinctly different attitudes to language, to literature, and to religious truth, and adds valuable nuances to our understanding of German culture in the second half of the 18th century."
David Hill in: German Studies 2017, p. 268
