Description
A new Forum section focuses on the impact of Digital Humanities on Goethe scholarship and on eighteenth-century German Studies, alongside articles on a diverse range of authors and topics.
The Goethe Yearbook is a publication of the Goethe Society of North America, showcasing North American and international scholarship on Goethe and other authors and aspects of the Goethezeit. Volume 27 features the yearbook's first Forum, a discussion of the impact of Digital Humanities (DH) and "computational criticism" on Goethe scholarship and eighteenth-century German Studies more broadly. For this launch, invited contributors were askedto consider the canon in comparison to "the great unread" (Margaret Cohen): the vast expanse of uncanonized texts. The contributions evince approaches that go beyond the established binary of scholarly methods vs. data sciences; they also explore DH as a way of navigating the gendered fault lines of canon formation. Beyond the Forum, there are articles on Goethe's self-marketing, on several of his major works, and on pivotal topics in them (orientation, der Gang, and transgression); on nascent anthropology, on Creativity Studies, and on other eighteenth-century figures (Rahel Levin Varnhagen, Karl Phillip Moritz). A newly discovered text by August von Kotzebue, sample entries fromthe prodigious work in progress Lexikon of Philosophical Concepts, and the customary book review section round out the volume.
Richard B. Apgar, Constanze Baum, Jane K. Brown, Matt Erlin, Renata Fuchs, Matthew Handelman, Katrin Henzel, Stefan Hoeppner, Julie Koser, James Manalad, Clark Muenzer, Maike Oergel, Andrew Piper, Mattias Pirholt, Michael Saman, Renata Schellenberg, Helmut J. Schneider, Oliver Simons, Leif Weatherby, George S. Williamson, Karin A. Wurst.
Patricia Anne Simpson is Professor of German at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Birgit Tautz is George Taylor Files Professor of Modern Languages at Bowdoin College. Book review editor Sean Franzel is Associate Professor of German at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
