The letters in the Jean-Paul cultural circle are oriented to the
idea of simultaneous love. Questioning the possibility of finding a
philological way to represent this idea means turning the
requirements and implications of editorial practice into a basis

theoretical philology. "
If somebody in the 18th century had wanted to send a love letter
using SMS text, they would have been doomed to fail a ' neither the
technology nor the recipient would have been able to handle such a

The series "QUELLEN UND FORSCHUNGEN ZUR LITERATUR- UND
KULTURGESCHICHTE" (Sources and Research in the History of
Literature and Culture), with a rich tradition stretching back to
1874, is an established feature among the renowned publications for
German Literary Studies. Edited by Ernst Osterkamp and Werner
Roecke at the Humboldt University of Berlin, the series presents
examples of high-quality scholarship examining literary texts in
conjunction with historical cultural phenomena, particularly with
the other arts. There is an explicit demand for literary studies
with a transdisciplinary approach. German literature from the
Middle Ages to the present day forms the main focus of the series.
As the historical cultural thrust of the series includes aspects of
intercultural experience and national perceptions of the other,
Quellen und Forschungen is also open to occasional comparative
studies. The publications of the series include monographs,
doctoral and professorial theses and thematically focused volumes
of collected papers. Works presented for acceptance in the series
are required to display scholarly relevance and excellence in
method and presentation.
