Peter Szondi is widely regarded as being among the most
distinguished post-war literary critics. This first English edition
of one of his most lucid and interesting series of lectures,
translated by Martha Woodmansee and with a foreword by Joel
Weinsheimer, opens up his work in hermeneutics for English-speaking
readers. The question of what is involved in understanding a text
occupied Biblical and legal scholars long before it became a
concern of literary critics. Peter Szondi here traces the
development of hermeneutics through examination of the work of
18th-century German scholars. Ordinarily treated only as
prefigurations of Schleiermacher, the work of Enlightenment
theorists Johann Martin Chladenius, George Friedrich Meier and
Friedrich Ast yields valuable unsight into the material theory of
interpretation, on which a practical interpretive metholody might
be built.
