Excerpt from Ingo: The First Novel of a Series Entitled Our Forefathers
This work will contain a series of purely ficti tious tales, in which the fates of an individual. Race are related. It begins with ancestors from the earliest time, and will, if the powers of the author and his pleasure in the work continue, be gradually carried on up to the last desceu dant - a vigorous fellow who still wanders about under the German sun, without caring much about the deeds and sufferings of his forefathers.
The book will contain much that is poetic, and not at all a history of civilization. Un doubtedly it is not exactly for its pleasant shortness that the undertaking will be praised. The author would in the beginning prefer being silent as to how the individual stories may be united into a whole.

Excerpt from Ingo: The First Novel of a Series Entitled Our Forefathers
Germany fiction is very generally underrated abroad, even by many in Germany itself. There are plausible reasons for this. It is too young. True, there had been early beginnings in German prose. We find some of them as far back as the twelfth century, during the heyday of the Minnesingers. Epic literature, ever the cradle of prose romance, had flourished throughout the Middle Ages wherever the Teuton tongue, in its many and greatly varying dialects, was spoken, from the Adriatic to the Eider and Scheldt. Gottfried of Strassburg and Wolfram von Eschenbach had dug deep in the treasures of legendary lore. The lowlands of the North and West had offered their inimitable "Reynard the Fox." Strolling story-tellers changed into popular coin the fairy tales of old at hearth and fair. But the pitiful decline of the old empire, the wasting away of its internal forces in petty yet devastating strife, and, lastly, the century of cruel religious wars that was ushered in by Luther's Reformation and only ended in 1648 - all this led to the drying up of the Pierian springs. The loss of political power, of culture, of wealth, brought with it the inability to "tell a pleasant tale." Where no material existed there could be no output.
What we moderns understood by prose romance grew, therefore, later in Germany than elsewhere.
