An Anthology of German Literature, compiled by Calvin Thomas — an American germanist and professor — gathers representative texts from across the history of German letters, spanning medieval poetry, Baroque prose, Enlightenment drama, and Romantic verse. The anthology is presented with German-language source texts and is designed for serious students of the literary tradition.
Thomas was a respected academic whose editions and surveys helped establish German literary studies in American universities. This free public-domain EPUB serves as an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to the German literary canon from its origins to the modern era.
