To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He will have nothing to do with any system that makes peremptory divisions. ' A receptive mind for all that lives and moves' — that, he says, is the chief requisite in all historical inquiry. Phrases like these are easily re- peated and turned to canting rhetoric. One asks for ' some- thing more precise ', like the Duke of Wellington with the Holy Alliance. Grimm has been censured, over and over again, for romantic enthusiasm. He is fond of the word ' mysterious ', geheimnissvoll. All his life ...he maintains the difference between Natnr- and Kunst20oesie, and often in ways that may seem to be superstitious. But in this first book of his he never forgets what he had learned in method and logic from Savigny ; and while he uses dangerous cate- gories like ' evolution ', his steps of proof are all made secure with evidence. His main thesis is the continuity between Minnesang and Meistergesang ; the proofs are chiefly from the forms of verse, from the rule of triplicity in the stanza (the trefoil is engraved as an emblem on his title page), and the proofs require a number of references which do not make light reading.
