Presents the first English translation of Herder's foundational
essay along with critical responses to it by today's leading Herder
scholars. In recent years, Johann Gottfried Herder has been the
focus of much interest in the English-speaking world. While he was
long disregarded, current scholarship in both German and English is
revisiting his importance as an early theorist of the limits of
Enlightenment. Increasingly, scholarship is remembering that in the
closing decades of the eighteenth century Herder was one of the
most important alternative voices to Kant. Herder's Versuch uber
das Sein (Essay on Being, ca. 1764) was likely composed in reaction
to Kant's lectures on metaphysics. In it, Herder unfolds his
philosophical project, setting the terms that remained the
foundation of his work throughout his life and influenced Hegel,
Nietzsche, Heidegger, and others. Given the central importance of
the essay and Herder's increasing recognition in the
English-speaking world, it is striking that it has not been
translated into English until now. This volume presents a facsimile
of the manuscript along with a German transcription, an annotated
translation, and critical essays by the most important Herder
scholars writing in German and English today. Contributors: Manfred
Baum, Arnd Bohm, Nigel DeSouza, Ulrich Gaier, Alexander J. B.
Hampton, Marion Heinz, John K. Noyes, Wolfgang Pross, Sonia Sikka.

Was leistet die Literaturwissenschaft, wie liest man Texte, welche
Leitlinien und UEberzeugungen liegen Interpretationen zugrunde?
Dieser Frage wird anhand der faszinierenden Rezeptionsgeschichte
von Annette von Droste-Hulshoffs Die Judenbuche (1842)
nachgegangen. Die Erzahlung hat bis in die Gegenwart eine
erstaunliche Vielzahl von nicht nur unterschiedlichen, sondern sich
radikal widersprechenden Deutungen erfahren. Das Buch zeichnet die
Deutungsgeschichte umfassend nach, bietet Erklarungen und erhellt
zugleich auf spannende Weise unausgesprochene Grundannahmen der
Literaturwissenschaft.
