We tend to accept that German cities and states run their own cultural institutions (concert halls, theatres, museums). This book shows how this now “self-evident” fact became a reality in the course of the long nineteenth century.
Incorporating the findings of Rosa Wunner in Japonica Humboldthiana 2 (1998)
Germanistische Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft in Leipzig zeichnete sich seit der Gründung eines der ersten germanistischen Seminare an der Universität Leipzig im 19. Jahrhundert durch ein charakteristisches philologisches Profil aus, das sich gegenüber dem fachgeschichtlichen Mainstream zu behaupten suchte. Das lässt sich an institutionsspezifischen Besonderheiten, aber auch und vor allem an den Œuvres in Leipzig wirkender Germanisten wie etwa Moriz Haupt, Friedrich Zarncke, Eduard Sievers, Hermann August Korff, Theodor Frings und Hans Mayer ablesen. Die Publikation stellt in einer Reihe von Einzelbeiträgen repräsentative Vertreter und Richtungen der sprach- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Germanistik an der Universität Leipzig von den Anfängen im 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts im Kontext der Entwicklung der Disziplin vor. Der Band versteht sich sowohl als Beitrag zur Geschichte der Germanistik in Leipzig als auch zur allgemeinen Fachgeschichte.

In Philanthropy, Patronage, and Civil Society, Thomas Adam has assembled a comparative set of case studies that challenge long-held and little-studied assumptions about the modern development of philanthropy. Histories of philanthropy have often neglected European patterns of giving and the importance of financial patronage to the emergence of modern industrialized societies. It has long been assumed, for example, that Germany never developed civic traditions of philanthropy as in the United States. In truth, however, 19th-century German museums, art galleries, and social housing projects were not only privately founded and supported, they were also blueprints for the creation of similar public institutions in North America. The comparative method of the essays also reveals the extent to which the wealthy classes on both sides of the Atlantic defined themselves through their philanthropic activities. Contributors are Thomas Adam, Maria Benjamin Baader, Karsten Borgmann, Tobias Brinkmann, Brett Fairbairn, Eckhardt Fuchs, David C. Hammack, Dieter Hoffmann, Simone Lässig, Margaret Eleanor Menninger, and Susannah Morris.
