Time after time they have surprised the world by things least expected of them.' It is this quality of paradox, even of mystery, in the German nation that the distinguished historian renders with such subtlety and penetration in this celebrated study. It traces the whole sweep of intellectual development in Germany since the French Revolution.

Wir hoffen, das, was die Nation von anderen Nationen immer unterschied und unterscheiden wird, auch wenn ephemere Gegensätze verschwunden sind, unsere schöne Sprache, werde nicht dürr und gemein werden, sondern ihren Adel erneuern; und mit ihr alles, was im Wort seinen Ausdruck findet. Geschähe es nicht, was würde alle wiedergewonnene Großmacht und Scheinmacht uns denn helfen?
