Product details

The fourth volume of the voluminous main work by Barthold Heinrich Brockes. In the seventh and eighth parts of "Earthly Pleasures in God," Brockes' familiarity with significant works of English literature becomes increasingly apparent. As early as 1740, the poet had translated excerpts from John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and the entire "Essay on Man" by Alexander Pope, and now we also encounter parts from James Thomson's "Seasons," a poem that would not be fully available in German until 1745. Brockes' open references to Virgil's "Georgics" in the seventh part and his own arrangement of the sections according to the seasons in the seventh and eighth parts indicate Thomson's influence. The seventh part, titled "Country Life in Ritzebüttel," is characterized by a consistently perceptible "Georgic" mood. It continues.
