Enlightened War investigates the multiple and complex interactions between warfare and Enlightenment thought. Although the Enlightenment is traditionally identified with the ideals of progress, eternal peace, reason, and self-determination, Enlightenment discourse unfolded during a period of prolonged European warfare from the Seven Years' War to the Napoleonic conquest of Europe. The essays in this volume explore the palpable influence of war on eighteenth-century thought and argue for an ideological affinity among war, Enlightenment thought, and its legacy. The essays are interdisciplinary, engaging with history, art history, philosophy, military theory, gender studies, and literature and with historical events and cultural contexts from the early Enlightenment through German Classicism and Romanticism. The volume enriches our understanding of warfare in the eighteenth century and shows how theories and practices of war impacted concepts of subjectivity, national identity, gender, and art. It also sheds light on the contemporary discussion of the legitimacy of violence by juxtaposing theories of war, concepts of revolution, and human rights discourses. Contributors: Johannes Birgfeld, David Colclasure, Sara Eigen Figal, Ute Frevert, Wolf Kittler, Elisabeth Krimmer, Waltraud Maierhofer, Arndt Niebisch, Felix Saure, Galili Shahar, Patricia Anne Simpson, Inge Stephan. Elisabeth Krimmer is Professor of German at the University of California, Davis, and Patricia Anne Simpson is Associate Professor of German Studies at Montana State University.

Since the appearance of the first edition of this book in Germany in 1979 it has established itself as a classic work used by students and anyone interested in German literature. German literature is treated in this book not as a self-contained development according to purely aesthetic laws, but as a phenomenon firmly rooted in the social and political world from which it arises. The power and effectiveness of literary works are assessed according to their relation to the human conditions of the time: do they represent 'reality' or conflict with it? Do they reinforce or disturb complacency? Do they concern themselves with the upper levels of society or with marginal figures? Social forces and their interrelation with the artistic avant-garde are the organising theme of this history, which traces the literary history of Germany from its first beginnings in the Middle Ages to the present day. Readable and stimulating, its achievement is to make the literature of the past as immediate and engaging as the works of the present. This latest edition has been updated to cover the consequences of the reunification of Germany in 1990.
