ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Der Beitrag geht der ab den 1770er Jahren vermehrt zu Deskription und Distinktion literarischer Produktionsverfahren auftauchenden Fabrik-Metapher nach. Neben einer kurzen (begriffs-)geschichtlichen Orientierung wird anhand von Friedrich Nicolais Sebaldus Nothanker (1773–76) der Ausgangspunkt einer Denkfigur nachgezeichnet, welche die ‘Fabrik’ mitsamt ihren Folgen als ein das Projekt der Aufklärung bedrohendes Szenario entwirft und programmatisch entfaltet. Demgegenüber werden erfolgreich erprobte, allerdings unthematische arbeitsteilige Verfahren am Beispiel von Ludwig Tieck in der ‘Romanfabrik’ Ferdinand Eberhard Rambachs erörtert. Mit Ausblick auf die ‘Fabrik’-Reflexionen der Brüder Schlegel werden Abwertungslogiken und -praktiken autorschaftstheoretisch diskutiert.

ABSTRACT This article appraises a series of Friedrich Schleiermacher’s early writings (1799–1800). While appreciating the material conditions under which Schleiermacher was compelled to write anonymously, it also argues that anonymity features in these works as a literary strategy that sheds light on wider issues in his thought. I contend that the way Schleiermacher plays with this motif of anonymity helpfully illuminates distinctive theological assumptions undergirding his understanding of human nature, human language and gesture, and the rules he argues should govern social conduct.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Der Beitrag fokussiert die Paratexte des Populären. Ausgangspunkt ist die Frage, warum ein solch hoher Begründungsaufwand zu leisten ist, um das vermeintlich ohnehin Evidente — Volksdichtung ist gut, natürlich und damit auch authentisch — erneut zu erweisen. Eine der Strategien, Authentizität herzustellen, ist die zunehmende Anonymisierung von Dichtung, wie an Beispielen von Sammlungen um 1800 gezeigt werden soll.

ABSTRACT Simple reasons of self-protection and self-preservation have often compelled authors to conceal their authorship in the case of texts that subject religious or civil authorities to criticism and ridicule. A more perplexing form of literary anonymity arose, however, among many late eighteenth-century German writers who were committed to a defence of these authorities. This article considers the motives that induced such proto-conservative writers to publish anonymously by examining their tendency to conceive of public opinion as a force that in its own way came to seem anonymous and even decidedly sinister.

ABSTRACT This contribution examines a selection of engravings in the parallel edition of frontispieces to Goethe’s last edition of his collected works, published in Leipzig by Fleischer (1829–34). Select engravings, based on the five designs by an independent painter and popular illustrator, Peter Carl Geissler, are juxtaposed with those by Gustav Heinrich Nae[c]ke, who was professor of painting at the Saxon Academy. Striking differences in style and the choice of subjects become apparent. Two special cases in the collection round out the analysis: the portrait of Cellini after Vasari, probably by the Nuremberg painter Friedrich Wagner; the Frankfurt painter Johannes Thomas provided the only design with a detailed representation of urban architecture in the collection.

ABSTRACT The essay discusses the divide between political/sociological approaches to Werther and psychological ones, and proposes a synthesis based on the modern classification of mental disorders and the eighteenth-century social matrix. Courts exercised a magnetic attraction, but in Goethe’s case also aroused persistent impulses to social flight, and the episode in which Werther is excluded from a gathering of aristocrats is examined from this perspective. The tension between Empfindsamkeit and courtly manners and the question of the ethical status of these manners are taken to be neglected aspects of the text.

ABSTRACT This article compares two canonical works of modern German literature completed in 1912–13: Thomas Mann’s Der Tod in Venedig and the third of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Duineser Elegien. It uses the metaphors of visual art suggested by Rilke in his criticism of Mann’s novella to develop a reading based on the idea of the ‘contour’ and on poetic form, spanning travel and place, literary genre, sexuality and psychoanalysis, as well as antecedents in classical and neoclassical aesthetics and philosophy. This is not a historicist approach nor one that belongs to reception studies, but rather a reconstruction of the German-speaking cultural landscape in the first decades of the twentieth century and its bearing upon Rilke and Mann.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Mit seiner Geschichte der alten und neuen Literatur (1812/14) hat Friedrich Schlegel die erste europäische Literaturgeschichte in deutscher Sprache vorgelegt, die für über ein Jahrhundert auch die letzte ihrer Art bleiben sollte. Von allen literaturwissenschaftlichen Würdigungen umschifft, zählt Schlegels Abhandlung heute gleichwohl zu den irritierendsten Texten der deutschen Romantik: kaum je gelesen, noch seltener beforscht und niemals begrüßt. Wie der vorliegende Beitrag aufzeigt, resultiert diese wissenschaftliche Abwehr nicht primär aus den inhaltlichen oder stilistischen Defiziten der Studie, sondern aus dem simplen Umstand, dass ihr Verfasser vor ihrer Niederschrift zum Katholizismus konvertiert ist. Zu allem Überfluss hat Schlegel seine Vorlesungen nicht allein im katholischen Wien gehalten, sondern diese erste europäische Literaturgeschichte überdies als einen konturierten Gegenentwurf zur bis heute dominanten preußisch-protestantischen Erzählung deutscher literarischer Tradition entworfen. Angesichts dessen verspricht eine genauere Untersuchung der Schlegel’schen Vorlesungen tiefe Einsichten in die nationalen Befindlichkeiten Deutschlands— die vergangenen und gegenwärtigen gleichermaßen.
