The Classic Modern: Brecht. - The discussion of movements, as applied to German literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, has produced much disagreement, for which there are obvious reasons. The concept of a movement by nature fails to account for the uniqueness of any particular work. When a critic becomes excited about the work or author he is submerged in, therefore, part of his excitement, part of the feeling that his text has afforded him a glimpse of the true and universal, tends to relieve itself as resentment against the coolness of the literary historian who appears merely to classifysay, Faust as a Romantic drama, or Stiffer as a Biedermeier figure. Thus a typically unresolvable scholarly dispute about definitions is born. If we consider, in addition, that the historical discussion of German literature from the late eighteenth century on involves not only the difficult idea of Romanticism but also an idea of Classicism based mainly on a selection from the work of only two authors, Goethe and Schiller, then we need look no further for sources of terminological discomfort. There is, however, at least one other important reason for this discomfort. The terms customarily used to describe movements in German literature of the last two centuries do not give an adequate sense for the development of drama.
