A Book of German Lyrics
Edited by Friedrich Bruns
"A Book of German Lyrics" by Friedrich Bruns is a curated anthology of German poetry, compiled during the early 20th century. This collection aims to introduce students to prominent German poets and their works, highlighting lyrical expressions that exemplify the depth and variety of German lyric poetry, while also providing pedagogical insights and vocabulary support for learners. The opening of the anthology includes a preface by Bruns, where he outlines his pedagogical approach to selecting various poems. He emphasizes the importance of not just presenting beautiful individual poems, but also giving context about the poets themselves. Bruns discusses specific selections, justifying exclusions based on difficulty and relevance for the target student audience. He describes how to engage students with poetry effectively, suggesting a close examination of individual poets, and he ultimately hopes to foster a lasting appreciation for German lyric poetry in an educational setting.
