The articles in this volume live up to their declared aim to
squarely approach the works of Jeremias Gotthelf (1797-1854) from
the perspective of literary scholarship. They take an international
angle on aesthetic, genre typological, theological, political and
socio-historical aspects of his oeuvre. Outdated and erroneous
verdicts are refuted, Gotthelf is regarded against the aesthetic
and cultural-historical backdrop of his age and compared with other
European authors. The major insight gleaned from this is that his
work is not merely the expression of an effort to contribute to the
popular education and the politics of his day but can stand as the
literary achievement of a major realistic narrator. The volume
rounds off with a bibliography and detailed indexes of persons,
works and subjects.
