This volume plays on the double meaning of network in German and
European Studies: configurations of people, objects, and texts as
well as network analysis, the dominant Digital Humanities (DH)
method featured in the book. Contributions from art history,
history of the book, history, literary studies, and musicology
contemplate the strengths and weakness of treating the period
1789-1810 as either continuous with or a departure from the
centuries before and after by examining different facets of the
longer period 1760-1830. While many chapters investigate German
material, nearly all expand into other European cultures and cover
important regions, protagonists, objects and constellations of
bi-and multilingual life. They intersect Italian, French, and
English networks and reach across the Atlantic into New England.
The period’s bookends indicate a threshold or terminus for
traditions, institutions, and national identities in Europe:
marking the French Revolution (and its effects across the continent
culminating on the Wars again Napoleon) and at times reactionary
responses with delineation of national, regional, or group
identities, respectively, and perhaps most pronounced in the
aftermath of the Congress of Vienna (1814-15). Overall, the
collection of eleven chapters, introduction, and an epilogue
explores European cultural histories at the turn of the nineteenth
century in a nonlinear manner, that is, by accumulating critical
perspectives on people, objects, and texts that test the boundaries
of narratives of transmission, organization, and cohesion that
often mark scholarly evaluations of this period in European
history.
