Abstract Statements by Heine and Goethe show that they considered Voss a highly significant figure for German culture, as a model citizen and as an interpreter of Greek literature. In his socially critical idylls, Voss brought a new realism and a concern for liberty into German rural poetry, continued in his satire ‘Junker Kord’. Having produced much-admired translations of Homer, he adapted Homeric diction in his idyllic mock-epic Luise to depict harmonious domestic and social relations, in a way that deserves to be defended against imputations of Philistinism. Much later, he polemicized against the conversion to Catholicism of his old acquaintance Friedrich von Stolberg in a text that, though highly eccentric, attests his independence of mind.

约翰·海因里希·沃斯的乡村启示

海涅（Heine）和歌德（Goethe）的抽象陈述表明，他们以Voss为模范公民和希腊文学的解释者，对德国文化具有举足轻重的地位。沃斯在其具有社会批判性的田园诗中，为德国乡村诗歌带来了新的现实主义和对自由的关注，并继续讽刺他的“容克·科德”。他制作了荷马史诗般的译本，在田园诗般的讽刺史诗《路易斯》中改编了荷马史字典，描绘了和谐的家庭和社会关系，这种方式值得辩护，以免遭受非利士主义的指责。后来，他对自己的老熟人弗里德里希·冯·斯托伯格（Friedrich von Stolberg）to依天主教表示反对，但他的文章虽然很古怪，但却证明了他的思想独立性。
