Among Western literatures, only the German-speaking countries can
boast a list of world-class writers such as Goethe, Hoffmann,
Kleist, Kafka, Schmitt, and Schlink who were trained as legal
scholars. Yet this list only hints at the complex interactions
between German law and literature. It can be supplemented, for
example, with the unique interventions of the legal system into
literature, ranging from attempts to save literature from the tidal
wave of Schund (pulp fiction) in the early twentieth century to
audiences suing theaters over the improper production of classics
in the twenty-first. The long list of instances where German
literature cites law, or where German law serves literature as a
precedent, signal the dream of German culture of a unity of
interests and objectives between spheres of activity. Yet the very
vitality of this dream stems from real historical and social
processes that increasingly autonomize and separate these domains
from each other. Beebee examines the history of this dialectical
tension through close readings of numerous cases in the modern era,
ranging from Grimm to Schmitt.
