Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724-1803) is one of the most important figures in the history of German literature. He is seen as paving the way for the age of sentimentalism, Sturm und Drang, and the literature of experience. Klopstock was an ingenious linguistic innovator, and he established a body of work of lasting significance with his epic "The Messiah", and with his odes, dramas and poetic writings. With his wide network of connections with Enlightenment poets and thinkers, he was a focus of the intellectual world of his age. The Hamburg Klopstock Edition is the first complete critical edition of Klopstock's works and letters. It contains complete versions of all of the texts available in both printed and manuscript form and presents them in their historical contexts. Much of this material was previously unknown or unpublished and has been neglected in Klopstock research. The comprehensiveness of the material and the editorial methods employed make the Hamburg Edition a firm foundation for research into Klopstock and his age. The edition is divided into three sections, "Works," "Letters," and "Addenda." The "Works" section contains both the complete texts and critical, historical analyses of all of the literary and theoretical texts that Klopstock wrote and revised. The section not only includes previously unpublished works from the "Gelehrtenrepublik" (Republic of Scholars) and the "Grammatische Gesprache" (Grammatical Conversations) along with Klopstock's translations of Classical works but also demonstrates the breadth of variation within the works themselves which is typical of Klopstock's constant striving for perfection in the content and linguistic form of a text.

Als vor nunmehr fast 3 Jahren die Verlagsbuchhandlung anregte, das Gesamtwissen urn die physikalischen und technologischen Eigen schaften des Magnesiums und seiner Legierungen zu sammeln und in handbuchmi1Biger Darstellung dem taglich groBer werdenden Kreis der jenigen, die irgendwie an diesem Werkstoff interessiert sind, zuganglich zu machen, sprach sie dadurch einen Gedanken aus, den wohl jeder von uns in irgendeiner Form schon selbst gehabt und auch schon mit dem einen oder anderen seiner Kollegen durchgesprochen hatte. W enn diese Absicht bisher nicht zur Durchfiihrung gekommen ist, so wohl nur aus zwei allerdings sehr triftigen Grunden: Zunachst einmal gab es noch viele Fragen - weniger solche der Verarbeitung und Ver wendung als vor allem der physikalischen Eigenschaften -, die noch zu klaren waren, urn ein einigermaBen abgerundetes Bild zu geben; kurz gesagt, uns allen schien die Zeit fiir eine zusammenfassende Dar stellung noch nicht gekommen zu sein. Die zweite ebenso wichtige Frage, die sofort bei dem leisen Gedanken an eine groBere literarische Arbeit auftauchen muBte, war die: Wie soll man die Zeit finden, urn neben der beruflichen Dberlastung noch in sparlichen Urlaubstagen oder an freien Abendstunden ein Buch zu schreiben? Einer allein hatte es wohl nie fertiggebracht, denn wenn die Geschwindigkeit, mit der ein Manu skript ausgearbeitet wird, geringer ist als die, mit der die Entwicklung des betreffenden Gebietes voranschreitet, so wird das Buch janie fertig."
