To fully appreciate the metrical innovations of the 17th century, the author first investigates Old High German poetry, Middle High German poetry, and popular and artistic poetry of the 15th and 16th centuries. The book concludes with an extensive study of Georg Rudolf Weckherlin's metrics, presenting a detailed examination of his verse technique in comparison with that of his contemporaries. This exploration reveals significant developments in German metrics, culminating in the shift from accentuating to alternating techniques and the emergence of Opitz's influential principles.
