Bohlman has achieved what I regard as the finest achievement (only finest so far, of course) in his enormously productive, wide-ranging, innovative, and influential career as a scholar."—Celia Applegate, Vanderbilt University "This book is that rarity, a genuinely original work. It is simultaneously a valuable translation of Herder and a meditation on translation itself. In this double role it will merit a wide readership in literary scholarship, history, German studies, philosophy, and musicology."—Harry Liebersohn, Professor of History, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "Herder's essays on music are ground zero for the study of musical nationalism, especially in Europe but also in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. All of us interested in this important topic owe Philip V. Bohlman a debt of gratitude for translating them into English for the first time."—Timothy Rice, UCLA Distinguished Professor of Ethnomusicology "Philip V.

Herder needs to become our contemporary once more, and now, thanks to Philip V.
