Jeremias Gotthelf - Wege zu einer neuen Ausgabe
Im 150. Todesjahr von Jeremias Gotthelf begannen die Herausgeber mit der historisch-kritischen Edition seiner nicht-literarischen Schriften, die den ersten Baustein zu einer historisch-kritischen Gesamtausgabe von Gotthelfs Werken bilden. Über das Ziel und mögliche Wege, Gotthelfs Gesamtwerk in seinem historisch-politischen Kontext zu edieren und zu kommentieren, berieten sich die Herausgeber mit erfahrenen Editionsspezialisten und Gotthelf-Forschern.
