In der Ringvorlesung des Berner Collegium generale zum Gotthelfjahr 2004 präsentierten ein Kirchenhistoriker, ein Ethnologe und fünf Literaturwissenschaftler ihre neuen Einsichten in das Werk und die vielfältige berufliche Tätigkeit des Schweizer Literaturklassikers. Diese Vorträge sind für die Buchpublikation grundlegend erweitert und überarbeitet worden. Der Titel dieses Bandes deutet an, wie Gotthelf als Volks- und Kalenderschriftsteller, christlich-republikanischer Pfarrer, satirischer Zeitkommentator und streitbarer Kirchenmann auf seine Zeitgenossen wirkte. Berühmte Erzählungen wie Die schwarze Spinne und Elsi, die seltsame Magd werden ebenso interpretiert wie die politischen Grossromane Der Herr Esau und Zeitgeist und Berner Geist.
This study examines all Gotthelf's published novels and attempts to reconcile two aspects of his fiction which critics have generally seen as being in conflict with one another: his pedagogical intent and his artistic instinct. It does this through an analysis of the reader's role in the novels. The study seeks to reveal if and how Gotthelf's expressed intentions are reflected in the novels' narrative strategies. This involves an examination of the ways in which the reader's interest is established and maintained in the different novels and how the devices used to achieve these effects relate to the author's moral, social and political vision. Furthermore, a novel-by-novel analysis shows how the reader's role was affected by Gotthelf's changing views on the social function of his fiction.
