We are inundated with game play today. Digital devices offer
opportunities to play almost anywhere and anytime. No matter our
age, gender, social, cultural, or educational background—we
play. Play in the Age of Goethe: Theories, Narratives, and
Practices of Play around 1800Â is the first book-length work
to explore how the modern discourse of play was first shaped during
this pivotal period (approximately 1770-1830). The eleven chapters
illuminate critical developments in the philosophy, pedagogy,
psychology, politics, and poetics of play as evident in the
work of major authors of the period including Lessing, Goethe,
Kant, Schiller, Pestalozzi, Jacobi, Tieck, Jean Paul,
Schleiermacher, and Fröbel. While drawing on more recent
theories of play by thinkers such as Jean Piaget, Donald
Winnicott, Jost Trier, Gregory Bateson, Jacques Derrida,
Thomas Henricks, and Patrick Jagoda, the volume shows the
debates around play in German letters of this period to be far
richer and more complex than previously thought, as well as more
relevant for our current engagement with play. Indeed, modern
debates about what constitutes good rather than bad practices of
play can be traced to these foundational discourses. Published by
Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers
University Press.Â
