This volume assembles the papers delivered at a literary studies
colloquium held at Osnabruck University in 1994 to mark the 200th
anniversary of the death of statesman, jurist and writer Justus
Moser (1720-1794). The articles cast light from a variety of
perspectives on the intellectual and literary upheaval that took
place in Germany between 1770 and 1790. With a view to situating
the "Sturm und Drang" phenomenon in the context of the European
Enlightenment as a whole, literary developments in Britain, France,
Italy and the Netherlands are also focussed upon. From a broader or
more individual vantage, the articles discuss questions of
periodicity, reception and impact, illuminate the talking-points of
the day (e.g. the debate on the 'gender gap') or investigate such
things as programmatic lifestyles and the status and influence of
journalistic comment in contemporary discourse."
