Rahel: Her Life and Letters (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Rahel: Her Life and Letters

Among those assertions which have of late years become axioms, is that which affirms the intellectual vigour of the Germans. We accept without a question the professorial statement that all the best books are German books, and yet our most modern experience has not led us to look for any special intellectual delight in German society generally, still less in that of German women.

It is with some surprise therefore that we trace, in the letters and memoirs connected with the early part of this century in Germany, the influence of more or less gifted women upon the writers of that time.
