Overview
Volumes

The history of editions allows one to register the different concepts underlying the presentation of the work and thus decisively affecting its reception. At the same time, the historical view reveals the influences to which the editions were subjected as a result of their academic or contemporary context. The interdisciplinary book series Elements of a History of Editing aims to heighten the awareness of these interrelations.

Neugermanistische Editoren im Wissenschaftskontext

Roland S. Kamzelak, Rüdiger Nutt-Kofoth, Bodo Plachta

Volume 3 in this series

As a continuation of the first and second volumes of the series, this volume focuses on editors in the field of new German studies in a scholarly context. The scholarly-biographical perspective offers new insights into the origin and development of an edition or an edition process. The book discusses the professional institutionalization of a scholar, his/her position in literary studies (e.g. if he/she belongs to a ‘school’), and then goes on to explore the general circumstances of the times or other biographical relationships. Editors from the beginning of the 19th century to the late 20th century serve as examples.

The volume assembles 21 contributions in handbook format on editing practice in connection with largely literary German-language authors. It also gives an outline of the history of electronic editing. With reference to the general history of German-language editing practice, the individual longitudinal surveys provide both guidance to the editorial landscape pertaining to the respective author and links with historical and present-day approaches to scholarly editing. Accordingly, the contributions can be regarded as building blocks for a large-scale history of editing.
