>"About the language and wisdom of the Indians" is an art, language and social theoretical monograph by Friedrich Schlegel . It was published in 1808

>In the first sentence of his preface, Friedrich Schlegel refers to Sir William Jones . He was one of the first to notice the similarity between Sanskrit on the one hand and several European languages on the other. Jones' lecture quickly became known in Europe and fascinated many researchers in Germany and other European countries. Including Schlegel, the employed, the question of whether or not to the analogous prime numbers in mathematics Primworte could, original words give, from which the languages of the world draw their words. Jones had now suggested a partial answer with reference to Sanskrit, which Schlegel wanted to pursue.

>In the preface to his work, Schlegel had described that he had various hopes for this publication: He wanted to show “how fruitful Indian studies could one day be”, would like to make known “which rich treasures are hidden here” and finally want to achieve "to stir up the love for this study [...] in Germany too". In fact, Schlegel has a kind of 'renaissance' in mind. Just as the study of the Greek language and culture was pursued and promoted in Italy and Germany in the 15th and 16th centuries , he would like the present to be fertilized by ancient Indian times.

>Franz Bopp (1791–1867), who is considered the founder of Indo-European studies , initially followed in Schlegel's footsteps .

What can I read that's similar to German Romantic philosophy? I've been reading secondary sources on them and I'm really enjoying what I'm reading about the role they thought art should play in society but when I actually read Schiller and Schlegel I don't enjoy the style of writing at all. What can I read that's similar?

I learned german at school but since I didn't practice it so often, I forgot a lot of words and now want to make it more fluent. So I came up with the idea to read some authors with a dictionary, but they should be interesting, in the sense that they should teach me something or the plot of the novel should be interesting, but they shouldn't be too big, so I am not interested in reading Thomas Mann in german - too big and too dense.

So I came up with a bunch of authors who interested me: Heinrich Heine, Friedrich Schlegel, Wilhelm Hauff, Grimm brothers, Werner Sombart. Who else could be thrown in here. Authors from 19. century are very welcome.
