Summary: Everything you ever wanted to know about THE Brothers Grimm!
Comment: The author views the Grimms in the context of eighteenth and early nineteenth century Germany and discusses their positions as pioneers of German philology, as members of the "Gottingen Seven," and inside the circle of German romantics. The brothers' lives unfold against a background of wars and revolutions--theFrench Revolution, Napoleon, Waterloo, the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Rise of the Common Man. Michaelis-Jena surveys Jacob's important work in compartive philology and mythology (work that led to the formulations of Grimm's law). Wilhilm's contributions as an editor of German classics, and the work of both, in later years on an eighteen-volume dictory of the German language are also considered.
