 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: German Literature
Literature as an art suffered by being pressed into the service of religious controversy; it became polemic or didactic, and its prevailing form was prose.
Its effect on the German language was enormous; the dialect in which it is written, a Middle German dialect used in the chancery of Upper Saxony, became gradually the norm for both Protestant and Catholic writers, and is thus the basis of the modern literary German.
Literature was devoid of originality and substance; the formal side absorbed the chief attention of the writers.

 Romanticism (literature) - MSN Encarta
Romanticism (literature), in the literature of virtually every country of Europe, the United States, and Latin America, a movement that lasted from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century, characterized by reliance on the imagination and subjectivity of approach, freedom of thought and expression, and an idealization of nature.
It was Rousseau who established the cult of the individual and championed the freedom of the human spirit, announcing, “I felt before I thought”.
In their choice of heroes, also, the Romantic writers replaced the static universal types of classical 18th-century literature with more complex, idiosyncratic characters; and much drama, fiction, and poetry was devoted to a celebration of Rousseau's “common man”.

 French 2330: French Literature in Translation 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Unlike the seventeenth century’s Cardinal de Richelieu, who believed that there was one standard of literary perfection that all writers should strive to emulate and/or approximate, she argued that literary merit depended on a number of relative factors, such as the religion, laws, morals, geography, and even the climate of individual countries.
This tendency, most in evidence in the literature of the 1820s and 1830s, was linked perhaps to the fall of the Napoleonic ideal that resulted in the collapse of the glorious dreams of a whole generation of writers.
For the first time in French literature, poetry becomes not an art of pure form (wherein the message is secondary to the formal poetic structure) but an art of sincere communication.
