The publication of the AXenienA (1796) by Goethe and Schiller not
only triggered one of the greatest scandals in German literary
history; the advent of the xenion also established a form of
literary dispute that systematically violated existing aesthetic
and communicative norms. The history of this Aaccursed genreA,
attempted here for the first time, also extends into the present.
Other authors using the form include HAlderlin, Kleist, Herwegh,
and Bobrowski. Like their predecessors these writers employed the
xenion in literary disputes as well as in their adversative
engagement with Weimar classicism and the reception accorded to it.
