Interesting non-guide Baedeker

16 Mar 2012

Here is a book which might be of interest if you are a German-speaking Baedeker enthusiast. It is an anthology of German poetry from the 17th-19th centuries, published by K Baedeker in 1846.

It is quite a typical non-guide Baedeker book, compiled by a professor of Roman and German Literature at the University of Münster, and also containing samples of German prose and language from earlier centuries. Interesting for giving a feel of Rhineland culture in the 1840's, I would think.
