Book excerpt: Excerpt from Friedrich Schlegel's Relations With Reichardt and His Contributions to "Deutschland" In the following paper1 I have confined myself to the statement of those facts in Friedrich Schlegel's early career which were necessary to the explanation of his connection with Reichardt. Considerable biographical setting was called for and here I have drawn upon the best known sources, frequently without the use of quotation marks. On the other hand I have felt justified in omitting or passing over with brief mention certain phases of the first twenty five years of his life which, however interesting they might be as matters of biography, had no bearing upon the sub ject in hand; for instance A. W. Schlegel's relations to Schiller and the consequences to him of Friedrich's break with the latter. What I have tried to do is to bring new material and add new details to a matter which most stu dents of German Literature have previously accorded little attention. In certain cases also there is an attempt at a new interpretation. Schlegel's literary productions in this early period have been criticised and discussed by many able scholars. Where it has been necessary I have used their results, not being bound to any one authority, but, in cases of variation, avail ing myself of the privilege of selection. But little space, however, has been devoted to the consideration of the works themselves. It would have been a daring undertaking, particularly for a foreigner, to enter the lists against men like Haym, Dilthey and Walzel, and a mere parrot-like repe tition would have been of no value. For the most part I have limited myself to a discussion of the influences which led to the writing of his earlier essays and a consideration of the results which they produced.
