This volume brings together the papers held at an international
conference in Frankfurt am Main (September 1996) commemorating the
First Assembly of German Studies Scholars in 1846 in the same city.
Proceeding from an earlier understanding of the term Germanist,
which in 1846 was extensive enough to embrace law historians,
historians and language scholars, the authors reflect on the
specialization of German Studies in the form of a 'national
philology', proceeding from there to take a comparative focus on
what has always been a problematic relation between nation and
philology in Europe. Systematic and biographic approaches are taken
to issues associated with the development of tradition, the
transfer of knowledge and culture, and the political implications
of philological work.
