Description
This collection of 12 articles, published in honour of Professor Martina Lauster, examines patterns of knowledge in the nineteenth century in German literature, visual arts, science and culture, as well as in comparative studies and English. The articles, written in English and German, reflect Martina Lauster's wide interdisciplinary research interests, which run from 1800 to the beginning of the 20th century, and her special focus on the Vormärz period.
