Evaluation of Gryphius' work

Hey guys, the evaluation of Gryphius' work at the end of the article seems a bit POV. Who's to say what his best works were or whether something was "laboured"? We'd need references for that. In Germany, Gryphius is best known for his sonnets, which have so far received scant mention. Now I haven't read enough of his works to amend the section myself, but please, Gryphius experts of all countries...!

Freystadt

The Freystadt that Gryphius that saw burn was that in Silesia (now Poland), not Bavaria. I've changed it in the text, but can't get clicking on the name to link to the Silesian Freystadt. Norvo (talk) 01:36, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed it. (Check out the code to see how to do things like that in the future.) Sindinero (talk) 07:45, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Opitz book (Buch von der deutschen Poeterey)

The sentence concerning "Martin Opitz's Buch von der deutschen Poeterey" implies that the book was published in 1634. (It discusses the year that Gryphius "arrived" which I take to mean came to Danzig. In the previous paragraph, it's stated that Gryphius came to Danzig in 1634.) If my interpretation is correct, then the statement is false. Martin Opitz's Buch von der deutschen Poeterey was published in 1624, as is stated in the Optiz entry in Wikipedia and many other sources (including the text of Buch von der deutschen Poeterey on Project Gutenberg). Either this phrase should be deleted or the entire two paragraphs ought to be re-written to eliminate the inference I drew. (I tried figuring out some other interpretation but can't.)AnthroMimus (talk) 02:32, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This sentence needs help: "first improvers of German language and poetry"

What does this mean? This may be a literal translation from German, but it is very odd in English. Delete it? Improve it? Pete unseth (talk) 19:07, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
