Quest For Mysteries: The Masonic Background For Literature In 18th Century Germany is a book written by Heinrich Schneider. The book explores the influence of Freemasonry on German literature during the 18th century. The author argues that many of the literary works of this time period were heavily influenced by the tenets, symbols, and rituals of Freemasonry. Schneider delves into the history of Freemasonry in Germany and how it spread throughout the country during the Enlightenment. He also examines the works of prominent German writers such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, and Christoph Martin Wieland, and how their involvement with Freemasonry influenced their writing. The book provides a fascinating insight into the relationship between literature and Freemasonry during a significant period in German history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
