Zwischen Goethezeit und Realismus

The articles in this volume focus on Biedermeier as an epoch in the history of literature. They inquire first whether and to what extent this period is characterized by features that are specific to it, and also whether changes are to be observed within the course of that period itself. A third central topic is the engagement with the transformation process operative in the progress from the Age of Goethe to Biedermeier on the one hand, and from Biedermeier to realism on the other.
