This volume develops a comprehensive profile of Martin Opitz, considered by literary scholars as the „father of German poetry.“ At the turn of the 16th to the 17th century, he fought across denominational boundaries as an advocate of tolerance and patriotic reconciliation. He advocated for the parity of German language and poetry with the language and poetry of its neighbors, and helped build the bridge from humanism to Enlightenment.
