Questo volume, prima parte di un progetto di storia della letteratura tedesca moderna e contemporanea, prende le mosse da quello che si può definire il «laboratorio di un nuovo umanesimo della cultura europea», sviluppandosi dal Tardo Illuminismo agli anni Venti del XX secolo. Si rivolge a studenti e a studiosi, così come a chi voglia approfondire la straordinaria fioritura letteraria dei Paesi di lingua tedesca in età moderna, capaci di offrire alla cultura mondiale, tra i tanti altri, autori del calibro di Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Hölderlin, Kleist, Lichtenberg, Hoffmann, Stifter, Hesse, Walser, Kafka, Musil e i fratelli Mann. Ogni periodo è introdotto da un ampio inquadramento generale, che ricostruisce il contesto storico-culturale e considera l’intreccio delle opere letterarie e poetiche con il pensiero critico, i fenomeni artistici e le scoperte scientifiche del tempo. I singoli movimenti e autori sono sempre analizzati in modo da cogliere una caratteristica saliente di cui sono espressione. Un breve riassunto delle opere più rappresentative delle varie fasi letterarie integra l’excursus sulla vita e sulle attività dei protagonisti, che contempla i generi, i temi e i motivi in cui si sono distinti.

Abstract

This volume, the first part of a project on the history of modern and contemporary German literature, takes as its starting point what can be described as the ‘workshop of a new humanism in European culture’, developing from the Late Enlightenment to the 1920s. It is addressed to students and scholars, as well as to those who want to delve into the extraordinary literary flowering of the German-speaking countries in the modern age, which were able to offer the world culture, among many others, authors of the calibre of Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Hölderlin, Kleist, Lichtenberg, Hoffmann, Stifter, Hesse, Walser, Kafka, Musil and the Mann brothers. Each period is introduced by a comprehensive overview, which reconstructs the historical and cultural context and considers the intertwining of literary and poetic works with the critical thinking, artistic phenomena and scientific discoveries of the time. The individual movements and authors are always analysed in order to capture a salient characteristic of which they are an expression. A short summary of the most representative works of the various literary phases complements the excursus on the lives and activities of the protagonists, covering the genres, themes and motifs in which they distinguished themselves.
