This series focuses on literature and other cultural artifacts produced during the long nineteenth century in German-speaking lands. It includes studies in criticism and literary history, as well as analyses of the social and political dimensions of literature and culture. It offers contributions by scholars who have rediscovered once significant authors, genres or modes of production and consumption; reevaluated canonical texts; or explored other forms of expression, such as journalism or diaries.
Despite its popularity during the nineteenth century, regional literature has often been overlooked with regard to its role in the development of German national consciousness. By exploring various illustrations of geographic-historical landscapes in texts written before the 1848 revolutions and after the 1871 unification, this book investigates the vital polyphony generated by unique regional voices throughout the age of nationalism. Close readings of texts by Berthold Auerbach, Theodor Storm, Wilhelm Raabe, Fritz Reuter, Theodor Fontane, Gottfried Keller, and Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach examine recognizable and unfamiliar regions. Although this study concentrates on provincial writings, literary regionalism’s fictionality and simultaneous referentiality raise broader questions for the programmatic aesthetics of Poetic Realism and for inquiries into identity formation.
