Ebook: Ueber den Werth einiger Deutschen Dichter und über andere Gegenstände den Geschmack und die schöne Litteratur betreffend

As soon as it was published, the correspondence between Jakob Mauvillon (1743–1794) and Ludwig August Unzer (1748–1774), Ueber den Werth einiger Deutschen Dichter [On the Value of Some German Poets], unleashed a storm of outrage. While the authors critically dissect and dismantle Gellert’s entire poetic oeuvre in the first part, in the second part they carry out a ranking of German poets.
