Novalis und die Wissenschaften
De Gruyter 1997; US$ 126.00Engagement with the sciences is an integral feature of Novalis' work. Hardly any other author in the Classic and Romantic period can match the intensity and competence of his concern with the achievements of contemporary research and the structural patterns underlying the organization of knowledge. This volume contains the papers delivered at the 1st... more...
Erzählkunst und Volkserziehung
De Gruyter 1999; US$ 147.00The articles in this volume live up to their declared aim to squarely approach the works of Jeremias Gotthelf (1797-1854) from the perspective of literary scholarship. They take an international angle on aesthetic, genre typological, theological, political and socio-historical aspects of his oeuvre. Outdated and erroneous verdicts are refuted, Gotthelf... more...
Androgyne Autorschaft
De Gruyter 2004; US$ 126.00The present study examines authorship identity patterns in the works of Clemens Brentano (1778-1842), inquiring specifically into the function of poetological and transcendental-philosophical models of androgyny. The confusion of gender identities is observable not only in Brentano's fictional writings but also plays a significant role in his letters... more...
Klios Medien
De Gruyter 2003; US$ 126.00The subject of this volume is historicist practice in the perception of history and the development that superseded it. Both Ranke and Droysen as well as Fontane in his texts on the war of 1870/71 assimilate their descriptive procedures to 19th-century public historical culture, which was based on a number of medial innovations. But by drawing upon... more...
Ernst Moritz Arndt (1769-1860)
De Gruyter 2007; US$ 105.00Once feted as the bard of the wars of liberation, Ernst Moritz Arndt (1769-1860) has today been largely consigned to oblivion, and little research has been done on his immense historical significance for the history of German mentality and culture in the 19th and 20th centuries. The articles assembled here are the results of a German-American research... more...

Immanente Poetik und poetische Diätetik in Hölderlins Turmdichtung
De Gruyter 2006; US$ 133.00This volume is an attempt to provide a first comprehensive appreciation of Hölderlin's Tower Poems (the poems of his madness). It begins by reconstructing the poetology underlying them under the headings of imagery, landscape, space, and time. In addition the interpretations cast light on the dietetic and therapeutic aspects of this subjacent poetology,... more...
»Blüthenstaub«
De Gruyter 2000; US$ 126.00»Blüthenstaub«, the title of the famous collection of fragments by Novalis, stands here for the entire oeuvre of the Romantic German poet Friedrich von Hardenberg (1772-1801). The volume documents the second congress of the International Novalis Society, which was devoted to the reception and impact of Novalis' work not only on literary posterity but... more...
Hymen
De Gruyter 1997; US$ 126.00With "Hymen", the ongoing historical-critical edition of Ferdinand von Saar's works arrives at the output from the author's old age. Physically ailing and frequently assailed by bouts of resignation, the Viennese author (1833-1906) was preoccupied even at this late stage with the subject of adolescent development and the choice of soul-mates. The text-critical... more...
