For decades Sauder has dealt with the works of Johann Gottfried Herder. This book presents all studies of Gerhard Sauder on this famous spiritus rector of the German Sturm und Drang. Sauder treats very different aspects in the works of Herder, amongst other things his translations of poetic books of the bible, the rhetorics of his letters, his view in the Slavic literatures und cultures, his images and the perversion of his thoughts by the nazis.
