Dr. Adler has chosen for his study a comparison of the' work of two of Germany's eighteenth century writers who were above all literary pioneers, Klopstock, best known for his great epic "Der Messias", and Herder, critic, philosopher, and pastor. The various chapters trace the personal relations of the two writers and the debt of Herder to Klopstock, as well as outlining in detail their religious views and patriotic endeavors. A final chapter gives a painstaking analysis of their use of poetical language and shows how much both were indebted for their poetic vocabulary to the Pietists. A valuable bibliography closes the book.
