Goethe, Jean Paul, and Hegel (among many others) used the preface in order to reflect on the problems of writing itself, and its interpretation. If Sterne teaches us that a material book enables mind games as much as it gives expression to them, the Germans made these games more theoretical still. Weaving in authors from Antiquity to Agamben, Williams shows how European-and, above all, German-Romanticism was a watershed in the history of the preface. The playful, paradoxical strategies that Romantic writers invented are later played out in continental philosophy, and in post-Structuralist literature. The preface is a prompt for playful thinking with texts, as much as it is conventionally the prosaic product of such an exercise"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "In this incisive, original book, S. Williams reads prefaces to German literature and philosophy around 1800 as pretexts for writing, examining three of the most remarkable preface-writers of that era--Goethe, Jean Paul, and Hegel--in the contexts not only of German, but also European print culture, thought, and literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von, $d 1749-1832 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 00 $a Jean Paul, $d 1763-1825 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich, $d 1770-1831 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a German literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85054385 650 0 $a Prefaces $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010107549 600 17 $a Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von, $d 1749-1832. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029788 600 17 $a Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich, $d 1770-1831. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031816 600 07 $a Jean Paul, $d 1763-1825. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00050251 650 7 $a German literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941797 650 7 $a Prefaces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075072 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 830 0 $a New studies in the age of Goethe. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010040884 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217024911.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=74793A30209B11EABA878C2E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
