Daniel Leonhard Purdy traces a connection from Baroque-era missionary reports that accommodated Christianity with Confucianism to Goethe's concept of world literature, bridged by Enlightenment debates over cosmopolitanism and sympathy."--Provided by publisher.Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and ThoughtGerman literatureChinese influencesSympathyEuropeHistoryOrientalismEuropeHistoryCivilization, WesternChinese influencesChinaIntellectual lifeEuropeIntellectual lifeGerman literatureChinese influences.SympathyHistory.OrientalismHistory.Civilization, WesternChinese influences.909/.09821Purdy Daniel L.1200136MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910552757203321Chinese Sympathies2803841UNINA
