Time, History, and Literature - Selected Essays of Erich Auerbach

Zusatztext "It would be more accurate to say, then, that Auerbach did not fight against the German philological tradition but rather fought over it, so as to integrate it with the wider Western European tradition and its humanistic legacy. The essays in this excellent edition alongside Mimesis attest that he accomplished that mission to perfection." ---Joseph Mali, European Legacy Informationen zum Autor James I.
