 Literary Encyclopedia: German Baroque Literature
Sweeping aside the non-learned literature of the previous century, Opitz based the reform on classical and contemporary forms, styles, and motifs, thereby laying the groundwork for the integration of German into the family of European Renaissance literatures.
Moreover, German Baroque literature was part of the European tradition, and as such comprised a significant body of Neo-Latin writings and foreign language translations, alongside original works in German.
Ironically, this goal would be reached by way of translations and adaptations from French, Italian, and Spanish literatures, demonstrating thereby the equality of the German language with its European counterparts.
