About This Book

The study traces the reception of Indo‑Iranian poetry in German verse, beginning with historical contacts and the development of oriental scholarship, then surveying how individual poets engaged with Sanskrit and Persian sources through translations, adaptations, and imitation of forms such as the ghazal. It analyzes case studies of leading figures and lesser known writers, compares Persian and Indic influences, and assesses the movement's scope and results, arguing that Persian models exerted a stronger shaping effect on German poetic practice.
