Authors covered in this volume were instrumental in laying the groundwork for the late 18th-century blossoming of German literature, philosophy and culture called Classicism. In this period, German was finally accepted as the standard literary language, critical journals were established and basic concepts of democracy were widely discussed. Since there is a significant break in the tradition of German letters just before the period covered in this volume, an essay entitled "The German Transformation from Baroque to the Enlightenment" is provided in the appendix. It offers an introduction to the literary trends represented by the authors n this volume. 34 entries include: Johann Jakob Breitinger, Johann Joachim Eschenburg,Johann Christoph Gottsched,Johann George Hamann,Johann Gottfried Herder,Johann Kaspar Lavater,Gotthold Ephraim Lessing,Friedrich Nicolai,Christoph Martin Wieland.
