This general confusion, proceeding from a particular spiritual current unfavourable to Man's development, puts hindrances in the way of certain events which would have brought the Spiritual Soul much more rapidly into mankind, had these hindrances not been there. Chaucer (who died 1400 D.C.) founded English literature. If one thinks of all that the founding of this literature has led to, in spiritual consequences for Europe, one cannot but find it significant that such an event could not develop in freedom along its own lines, but must happen amid all the troubles of a war. In addition comes the fact that already before this, namely in 1215 A.D., that tendency of political thought had begun in England, which is to receive its right stamp from the Spiritual Soul. The further developments of this event too lie amid the embarrassment of war.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Man braucht nur daran zu denken, was von dieser Literaturbegründung für geistige Folgen in Europa ausgegangen sind, und man wird es bedeutsam finden, daß das Ereignis nicht frei sich gestalten konnte, sondern daß es in eine Kriegsverwirrung hineinfiel.
