Eine Korrespondenz zur Kulturgeschichte der Goethezeit
Christian August Vulpius (1762-1827) war der Bruder von Christiane von Goethe und ab 1797 Theater- und Bibliothekssekretär in Weimar. Heute als Schriftsteller fast vergessen, schrieb er zu seiner Zeit sehr beliebte Ritter- und Schauerromane, u. a. Rinaldo Rinaldini (1797), daneben Bühnenstücke und Lieder. Vulpius ist heute vor allem wegen seiner zahlreichen intellektuellen Beziehungen, insbesondere zu Goethe, als Protagonist der Weimarer literarischen Welt um 1800 von Interesse. Die Bände bieten eine vollständige Edition der Korrespondenz zwischen Vulpius und Goethe und sind damit ein bedeutender Beitrag zur Kulturgeschichte der Goethezeit. Der zweite Band enthält einen umfassenden philologisch-historischen Kommentar.
Operatic Migrations
This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to studying a wide range of subjects associated with the creation, performance and reception of 'opera' in varying social and historical contexts from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.

At the age of fifty and mother to ten children, Bouboulina commanded a fleet of ships from the island of Spetses and became the first female admiral in world naval history. But her success on the battlefield is only part of the story – by considering her three-century impact on feminism, cultural production, and as a touchstone of diasporic Greek identity, the contributors to this volume also expand our understanding of her far-reaching and under-recognized contributions.
