As a continuation of the first and second volumes of the series, this volume focuses on editors in the field of new German studies in a scholarly context. The scholarly-biographical perspective offers new insights into the origin and development of an edition or an edition process. The book discusses the professional institutionalization of a scholar, his/her position in literary studies (e.g. if he/she belongs to a school ), and then goes on to explore the general circumstances of the times or other biographical relationships. Editors from the beginning of the 19th century to the late 20th century serve as examples."
The phenomenon of variant versions plays an important role in editing practice, but it has never been systematically studied and described. The articles in this volume are the fruits of a conference engaging with variants from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. The theoretical and practical problems posed by this phenomenon are illustrated with reference to examples from a wide variety of epochs.
The volume assembles 21 contributions in handbook format on editing practice in connection with largely literary German-language authors. It also gives an outline of the history of electronic editing. With reference to the general history of German-language editing practice, the individual longitudinal surveys provide both guidance to the editorial landscape pertaining to the respective author and links with historical and present-day approaches to scholarly editing. Accordingly, the contributions can be regarded as building blocks for a large-scale history of editing.
The volume assembles papers delivered at the ninth international symposium of the German Studies Work Group on the Scholarly Editing of Texts, which took place in conjunction with the Work Group on Philosophical Editions and the Group of Independent Research Institutes within the German Musicological Society at the Technical University in Aachen from 20 to 23 February 2002. Three categories and concepts central to editing work - author, authorization, authenticity - are explored for the significance they have for different editorial procedures and their mutual relations to one another. The exploration encompasses theoretical and methodological papers concerned with the superordinate connections obtaining within this conceptual field, papers discussing individual aspects of the conceptual field, and case studies pertaining to individual texts or authors.
The volume assembles papers presented at a conference of the AResearch Group on Editing in German StudiesA systematically addressing the problem of the editorial handling of translations. The following topics are discussed: Under what heading should translations be listed in the edition of an author's works? What importance do the source texts used for translation have in textual criticism? What function do two-language editions fulfill today?
This volume assembles the papers delivered at a literary studies colloquium held at Osnabruck University in 1994 to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of statesman, jurist and writer Justus Moser (1720-1794). The articles cast light from a variety of perspectives on the intellectual and literary upheaval that took place in Germany between 1770 and 1790. With a view to situating the "Sturm und Drang" phenomenon in the context of the European Enlightenment as a whole, literary developments in Britain, France, Italy and the Netherlands are also focussed upon. From a broader or more individual vantage, the articles discuss questions of periodicity, reception and impact, illuminate the talking-points of the day (e.g. the debate on the 'gender gap') or investigate such things as programmatic lifestyles and the status and influence of journalistic comment in contemporary discourse."
Literary transmission plays an important role in the discourse on memory, which is not surprising as one of the functions of texts has always been to figure as tokens of memorialization. From different perspectives and with different approaches to the subject, the articles in this volume look at various individual examples in an attempt to cast light on the memorialization procedures to be found in literature. This concrete quest for the traces of literary memory demonstrates how intricate and difficult it is to grasp and describe the manifold reciprocities between memory, literature, and the relevant context.
The articles in this volume examine the phenomenon of literary collaboration. The initial concern is a stock-taking process with regard to literature in German, at the same time placing the various forms of literary teamwork in a historical perspective. The variety of different kinds of collaboration (drama, music, journalism) is also thematized with a view to extending the purview beyond that of a mere overview and establishing the phenomenon of literary collaboration more firmly in the focus of scholarly discussion.
