Abstract

Perhaps the first great world war was the Seven Years’ War (1756–63), and with this conflict Britain began its ascent as a European and global power, which was sealed with its Industrial Revolution and the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. British power was ascendant from that time until the wreckage of the First World War. But no country is an island even if it is an island, and its literature and culture lives in the context of its neighbors and the world. British history and literature cannot be understood fully in isolation. Writing in English, then, I wish to return to Comparative and World Literature and history, and to approach these subjects from yet another angle in order to come to a fuller understanding of them. And so I will begin with Germany and a certain leading writer in the culture of that nation.
