Summary
Ernest Robert Curtius: European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages
One of the most important works on medieval literature, Curtius's "European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages", arose from the need to comprehensively research the language and interpretation of old European literature and present it with examples from the literary and philological aspect. Thus, the author gave answers to the questions of the relationship between ancient language and literature and contributed to the elucidation of a part of Western literature. At the same time, he appreciated the achievements of that scientific discipline without which any serious work on such a topic is unthinkable, namely philology. He also used knowledge from the psychology of art, religion, philosophy and other sciences. Curtius began the preparatory work for this book in 1932, and the work was first published in 1947.
