1912 sucht der junge sozialistische judische Wiener Dozent Leo Spitzer (1887-1960) Kontakt zum alten charismatischen, aber konservativen Professor Hugo Schuchardt (1842-1927), woraus sich eine fur beide Beteiligten intensive Korrespondenz bis ins hohe Alter des Letzteren ergibt. Obwohl Gegenbriefe Schuchardts nicht erhalten sind, geben doch die hier veroeffentlichten nahezu 250 Schreiben Leo Spitzers ein auch stilistisch eindrucksvolles Zeugnis von Welten, die aufeinander prallen, aber - nicht ohne Skepsis - wieder zueinander finden. In ihnen offenbaren sich eine Welt und ein akademisches Getriebe, in denen sich zunehmend Antisemitismus breit macht, sowie der sprachforschende, kulturelle, politische und menschliche Alltag. Kaum einer verstand es, bis ins hohe Alter Besonderheiten und Alltaglichkeiten so sehr in seiner eigenen wissenschaftlichen Forschung zu vermitteln wie Leo Spitzer.

Biological Time, Historical Time presents a new approach to 19th century thought and literature: by focussing on the subject of time, it offers a new perspective on the exchanges between French and German literary texts on the one hand and scientific disciplines on the other. Hence, the rivalling influences of the historical sciences and of the life sciences on literary texts are explored, texts from various scientific domains - medicine, natural history, biology, history, and multiple forms of vulgarisation - are investigated. Literary texts are analysed in their participation in and transformation of the scientific imagination. Special attention is accorded to the temporal dimension: this allows for an innovative account of key concepts of 19th century culture.
