More about the book

The work explores Johann Gottfried Herder's profound impact on literary criticism, particularly regarding Shakespeare. Herder's 1773 essay introduced a historicist perspective, advocating for the evaluation of cultural artifacts based on their historical and cultural contexts rather than rigid classical standards. By challenging the dominance of French neoclassicism and rejecting Enlightenment ideals, Herder's insights marked a shift towards Romanticism and laid the groundwork for modern aesthetic appreciation, reshaping our understanding of literature and art.
