A Timeline of the History of German Literature
(Eine Zeittafel der Geschichte der deutschen Literatur)
This was my final project for GER 454 - German Literature II in 1998, and represents a general survey of the history of German literature. It was cobbled together at a time when the web was in its infancy, so there were not nearly as many resources available online as there are now, so it served as a reference for many students and researchers. It's likely a bit dated now, but I'm making it available in this wiki, after many years of not being available due to the university removing students' personal websites, in the hopes that some may continue to find it useful.
