Jeremias Gotthelf - Wege zu einer neuen Ausgabe

Product Description


On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Gotthelf's death, the editors began on an historical-critical edition of the author's non-literary works, representing the first stage in the eventual historical-critical edition of Gotthelf's entire oeuvre. The editors have engaged in extensive consultations with experienced editing experts and Gotthelf specialists on the objective of editing and commenting on Gotthelf's complete works in their historical and political context, and on potential avenues to be explored toward the realization of this endeavor. The articles assembled here indicate new approaches to Gotthelf, whose experiences as a committed clergyman, school reformer, journalist, and contributor to religious almanacs all found their way into his narratives.


Review


Nicht nur stellt dieser Band einen äußerst wichtigen Beitrag zur Gotthelf-Forschung dar; er lässt auf eine dichter- und werkgerechte Edition des großen Schweitzers hoffen.Roger Paulin in: Zeitschrift für Kirchengeschichte 1/2009
