Buch von der Deutschen Poeterey by Martin Opitz
"Buch von der Deutschen Poeterey" by Martin Opitz is a poetics treatise published in 1624. It stands as the first German-language poetics manual, establishing rules for writing poetry across nearly all lyric genres of the period. Born from Renaissance debates about German cultural legitimacy, Opitz's work defends the German language against charges of barbarism while drawing on both ancient classical traditions and contemporary Romance models. His revolutionary prosodic reforms in Chapter VII
made proper versification accessible to anyone with natural German language intuition, profoundly shaping German poetry for generations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
