A new Forum section focuses on the impact of Digital Humanities on
Goethe scholarship and on eighteenth-century German Studies,
alongside articles on a diverse range of authors and topics. The
Goethe Yearbook is a publication of the Goethe Society of North
America, showcasing North American and international scholarship on
Goethe and other authors and aspects of the Goethezeit. Volume 27
features the yearbook's first Forum, a discussion of the impact of
Digital Humanities (DH) and "computational criticism" on Goethe
scholarship and eighteenth-century German Studies more broadly. For
this launch, invited contributors were askedto consider the canon
in comparison to "the great unread" (Margaret Cohen): the vast
expanse of uncanonized texts. The contributions evince approaches
that go beyond the established binary of scholarly methods vs. data
sciences; they also explore DH as a way of navigating the gendered
fault lines of canon formation. Beyond the Forum, there are
articles on Goethe's self-marketing, on several of his major works,
and on pivotal topics in them (orientation, der Gang, and
transgression); on nascent anthropology, on Creativity Studies, and
on other eighteenth-century figures (Rahel Levin Varnhagen, Karl
Phillip Moritz). A newly discovered text by August von Kotzebue,
sample entries fromthe prodigious work in progress Lexikon of
Philosophical Concepts, and the customary book review section round
out the volume. Richard B. Apgar, Constanze Baum, Jane K. Brown,
Matt Erlin, Renata Fuchs, Matthew Handelman, Katrin Henzel, Stefan
Hoeppner, Julie Koser, James Manalad, Clark Muenzer, Maike Oergel,
Andrew Piper, Mattias Pirholt, Michael Saman, Renata Schellenberg,
Helmut J. Schneider, Oliver Simons, Leif Weatherby, George S.
Williamson, Karin A. Wurst. Patricia Anne Simpson is Professor of
German at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Birgit Tautz is
George Taylor Files Professor of Modern Languages at Bowdoin
College. Book review editor Sean Franzel is Associate Professor of
German at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
