The late stages of the Enlightenment movement in Germany represent
a challenge that German Studies has yet to respond to in an
adequate manner. While the foundations and the practical
enterprises of the later Enlightenment are reasonably well
researched, a great deal less is known about the various forms of
literary expression that it engendered. There is at least incipent
awareness of the fact that without this aspect there can be no true
picture of the entire range of literary production in Germany
around 1800. The volume thus assembles, first of all, mutually
complementary case studies on representative authors with a view to
establishing a cross-section of significant schools of thought and
their individual manifestations. The guiding principle underlying
the approach is that of highlighting late Enlightenment literature
as a many-sided and dominant literary current extending from
1770/75 to approx. 1820 and, unlike earlier Enlightenment
literature, strongly geared from the outset to the promulgation of
Enlightenment ideas in the fields of social praxis and reform. The
central concern of the volume is to demonstrate what Enlightenment
persuasions, notions and endeavors were taken up by the medium of
literature and how that medium presented them. The approach taken
is a socio-historical one, combining procedures capable of
achieving an organic integration of the necessary broad
culture-historical background with more specific perspectives (e.g.
on the contemporary media and mentality).
