Description

This comprehensive scholarly work traces nearly 200 years of German poetics and aesthetics from the 1770s through the 1950s, offering readers a foundational history of the field alongside extensive bibliographies. De Gruyter's examination explores how German literary theory shaped intellectual discourse across two centuries, revealing the differentiation of historical accounts whilst providing insights into how contemporary literary theory can advance through reconnecting with these essential traditions. The book addresses the decline in literary theory's dynamism since postmodernism and proposes revitalising the discipline by grounding it in its historical roots. Spanning the work of major German thinkers and schools, this volume serves as both an authoritative reference and a critical intervention in understanding how aesthetic philosophy evolved and influenced broader intellectual movements.
