New essays providing an overview of the major movements, genres,
and authors of 19th-century German literature in social and
political context. This volume provides an overview of the major
movements, genres, and authors of 19th-century German literature in
the period from the death of Goethe in 1832 to the publication of
Freud's Interpretation of Dreams in 1899. Although the primary
focus is on imaginative literature and its genres, there is also
substantial discussion of related topics, including music-drama,
philosophy, and the social sciences. Literature is considered in
its cultural and socio-political context, and the German literary
scene takes its place in a wider European perspective. Following
the editors' introduction, essays consider the impact of
Romanticism on subsequent literary movements, the effectsof major
movements and writers of non-German-speaking Europe on the
development of German literature, and the impact of politics on the
changing cultural scene. The second section presents overviews of
the principal movements ofthe time (Junges Deutschland, Vormarz,
Biedermeier, Poetic Realism, Naturalism, Symbolism, and
Impressionism), and the third section focuses on the major genres
of lyric poetry, prose fiction, drama, and music-drama. The final
section provides bibliographical resources in the form of a
critical bibliography and a list of primary sources. Contributors
to the volume are distinguished scholars of German literature,
culture, and history from North America andEurope: Andrew Webber,
Lilian Furst, Arne Koch, Robert Holub, Gail Finney, Ernst
Grabovszki, Benjamin Bennett, Jeffrey Sammons, Thomas Pfau,
Christopher Morris, John Pizer, Thomas Spencer. Clayton Koelb is
