"The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Volume 11" by Francke is a scholarly collection of seminal literary works composed by influential German authors Friedrich Spielhagen, Theodor Storm, and Wilhelm Raabe from the 19th and early 20th centuries. This volume aims to capture the significance and evolution of German literature during a dynamic period marked by social reform and cultural renaissance. Through critical essays and translated excerpts, it provides readers with insight into the themes and stylistic innovations characteristic of these authors' works. The opening portion introduces Friedrich Spielhagen, examining his life and the context in which he wrote. It highlights the turbulent periods of political awakening in Germany, drawing a connection between the struggles for liberalism and the emergence of the novel as a vehicle for social commentary. The text also delves into Spielhagen’s formative years, his literary influences, and the blend of personal and political themes within his narratives. The discussion underscores his relevance as a pioneer of the "novel of purpose," aligning his work with broader historical movements in Germany during the 19th century, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his contributions to literature.
