Excerpt from Halm's Griseldis There is another advantage connected with the study of Halm's drama. It affords an excellent preparation for the reading of modern, more especially of lyrical German poetry, which greatly differs in point of diction and con ception from the poetry of Goethe and Schiller; and it is perhaps a failure to understand the poetry of recent times, which has led even some eminent critics to the erroneous assumption that German classical literature ceased with the Goethean era. Bearing in mind this circumstance, I have limited my annotations chiefly to the translation of unusual expressions and poetical figures of speech. In thus deviating from the mode I adopted in editing the other volumes in the present series, I have simply followed the sound maxim that every book should be annotated in strict accordance with its form and subject-matter. Some works require elucidations and explanations for nearly every line, whilst others offer no difficulty whatever except in point of language. This is the case with the present drama; for although there is not a single obscure or involved passage in it, there occur a number of expressions and phrases which require a special rendering, and these have been, as I said above, fully supplied.
