Overview
Volumes

The series of publications of Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School of Literary Studies at Freie Universität Berlin stands for internationally oriented literary studies which go beyond an exclusive focus on the Western tradition and turn towards the European, American, Arabic and Asian literatures of modernity, medieval times and antiquity. The publication forum offers monographs and anthologies which present an exemplary effort within their subject and at the same time cross its boundaries into the philologies and literatures of the world. The purpose is the integration of single disciplinary and comparative research involving neighbouring discursive practices. Friedrich Schlegel's approach obliges to do research of literary cultures from a universal-poetic perspective.

“Prose” refers to a largely free mode of speaking and writing that is not tethered to any normative form, and which permits a wide range of composition styles due to the openness of its content and form. In 18 chapters, this volume makes “prose” – an important but thus far insufficiently examined category of literary studies – the subject of historical, methodological, and theoretical investigations.

Poetic critique – is that not an oxymoron? Do these two forms of behavior, the poetic and the critical, not pull in different, even opposite, directions? For many scholars working in the humanities today, they largely do, but that has not always been the case. Friedrich Schlegel, for one, believed that critique worthy of its name must itself be poetic. Only then would it stand a chance of responding adequately to the work of art.

Taking Schlegel’s idea of poetische Kritik as a starting point, this volume reflects on the possibility of drawing these alleged opposites closer together. In light of current debates about the legacy of critique, it investigates whether a concept such as poetic critique (or poetic criticism) lends itself to enriching our intellectual practice by engaging with the poetic potential of criticism and the critical value of art and literature.
