Fine goat herder you are.

Herder was thus an evolutionist, but an evolutionist still under the influence of Rousseau.

While much that Herder produced after settling in Weimar has little value, he wrote also some of his best works, among others his collection of popular poetry on which he had been engaged for many years, Stimmen der Volker in Liedern (1778-1779); his translation of the Spanish romances of the Cid (1805); his celebrated work on Hebrew poetry, Vom Geist der hebrdischen Poesie (1782-1783); and his opus magnum, the Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit (1784-1791).

Herder's writings were for a long time regarded as of temporary value only, and fell into neglect.

Lessing was the exponent of German classicism; Herder, on the contrary, was a pioneer of the romantic movement.
