An important and unique work about Gothic fiction, by"the major anthologist of supernatural and Gothic fiction", Montague Summers.
This bibliography provides the first complete and copy-based record of the production of new English fiction in the period 1810-1829. The main listings include 2,256 entries, all but forty of which are based on examination of a first edition of the actual novel described. As a result of ten years of Anglo-German co-operation the bibliography makes especial use of the recently discovered collection of English novels of Schloss Corvey in Germany, whose holdings in English fiction 1796-1834 almost certainly exceed those held by any other library. This book also includes an extensive historical introduction by Peter Garside that offers a comprehensive overview of the main aspects of production, marketing and reception of fiction in the Romantic era.
Die Studie untersucht das Reichsdenken deutscher Literaten von der Aufklärung bis zur Romantik. Sie verhilft einem zentralen Thema der Sattelzeit aus dem toten Winkel der Disziplinüberschneidung. Das Heilige Römische Reich war für Autoren wie Wieland, Herder, Schiller und Goethe, aber auch für Jean Paul, Eichendorff und Kleist keineswegs eine quantité négligeable, vielmehr stellte es einen wichtigen Bezugspunkt ihres Denkens und Dichtens dar.
