Transnational Books for Children 1750-1900
This is the first study to take a comprehensive look at transnational children’s literature in the period before 1900. The chapters examine what we mean by ‘children’s literature’ in this period, as well as what we mean by ‘transnational’ in the context of children’s culture. They investigate who transmitted children’s books across borders (authors, illustrators, translators, publishers, teachers, relatives, readers), through what networks the books were spread (commercial, religious, colonial, public, familial), and how the new local identities of imported texts were negotiated. They ask which kinds of books were the most mobile, and they consider what happens to texts when ...
The Account Books of the Reimarus Family of Hamburg, 1728-1780 (2 vols.)
In The Account Books of the Reimarus Family of Hamburg, 1728-1780, Almut Spalding and Paul S. Spalding offer a two-volume critical edition of domestic records that open windows onto early modern Europe and the Enlightenment. They detail economic realities, social circles, cultural and educational pursuits, leisure activities, religious communities, and institutions in the life of a great city and a distinguished family. Volume one consists of the transcription, with an introduction and illustrations. Volume two is an extensive index. Hermann Samuel Reimarus and his daughter Margareta Elisabeth (Elise) Reimarus carefully maintained these records over fifty years. The former was a notable classicist, biblical scholar, animal behaviorist, and freethinker; the latter, leader of a literary salon, educator, translator, and author.

Liedersammlung für Kinder und Kinderfreunde am Clavier (1791)
The genre of Kinderliederchildrens verses set to music with keyboard accompanimentflourished in the German-speaking lands in the last third of the eighteenth century. The Liedersammlung für Kinder und Kinderfreunde am Clavier (1791), edited by Placidus Partsch, was the first collection of such songs to be published in the imperial capital of Vienna; it was originally intended to comprise four volumes representing the four seasons of the year, though only the volumes titled Frühlingslieder (Spring Songs) and Winterlieder (Winter Songs) survive today. Eleven composers contributed to this collection, including such Viennese musical luminaries as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Baptist Wanhal, Wenzel Müller, and probably Leopold Hofmann. Mozarts three contributions to the Frühlingslieder (K. 59698) were his last three lieder and among his final works. Each of the two surviving volumes contains thirty songs, suggesting that all four volumes would have included 120 songs. This edition is the first to include all sixty surviving lieder.
