Description

This scholarly volume explores how historical novels in German-speaking literature between 1870 and 1880 shaped historical reflection and national identity during a formative period of imperial patriotism. Despite their marginalised status, these novels made significant contributions to understanding how societies engaged with history and challenged conventional historical interpretation. The work examines the complex interplay of affirmation and subversion within these texts, connecting them to major intellectual movements of the era including Nietzsche's historical philosophy, Droysen's approach to historical meaning, and contemporary shifts in historical representation. Part of the prestigious Quellen und Forschungen zur Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte series, this volume positions these novels at a critical juncture where traditional historicism began to falter, offering essential insights into how literature functioned as a vehicle for historical consciousness during this transformative decade.

Published by De Gruyter as part of the established Quellen und Forschungen zur Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte series.
