ReviewsThis vast undertaking -- in which scholars teaching in America, Canada, England, and Germany collaborated - is, with its over 1000 pages, an interdisciplinary work containing wide-ranging essays that range far beyond German literature of the early modern period. Not only does the work treat the most significant research in early modern German literature over the last few decades; it also uncovers areas that are opportune for further research., This pioneering tome joins German Literature of the High Middle Ages... and other volumes in the series, and deserves a broad readership. Highly recommended., [...] The editor and the contributors are to be praised for having accomplished a truly Herculean task through which this period finally receives the recognition it deserves. There is nothing comparable on the German, or any other, scholarly book market.

SynopsisPathbreaking volume providing a detailed, state-of-the-art overview of the literature of this 350-year period and its cultural and historical background. Early Modern German Literature provides an overview of major literary figures and works, socio-historical contexts, philosophical backgrounds, and cultural trends during the 350 years between the first flowering of northernhumanism around 1350 and the rise of a distinctly middle-class, anti-classical aesthetics around 1700. Recent scholarship has significantly revised many traditional assumptions about the literature of this period, starting with areassessment of the canon. The notion of "literature" has expanded to include a much wider range of texts than before, such as broadsheets, illustrated books, emblem books, travelogues, demonological treatises, and letters. Greater attention to the cultural and social phenomena that affect literary production has led to hitherto neglected areas of research, including the culture of learning and learnedness; the idea of authorship; the relationship betweenthe intellectual elite and the state and other political authorities and institutions; the development of the family; gender dichotomy; and the early formation of an educated, urban middle class. In an introduction and twenty-seven essays on specific but broadly-based topics of seminal importance to the period, written by leading specialists from North America, the United Kingdom, and Germany, this pathbreaking volume reflects this state-of-the-art research.
