Ebook: Die Mobilisierung der Poesie: Literatur und Krieg um 1750

Ausgezeichnet mit dem Scherer-Preis 2018

The Silesian Wars (1740–1763) initiated developments that would prove central to 18^th-century cultural history. Nevertheless, their relevance to the history of German literature has remained unexplored. This book is a pioneering study of the interrelation between literary and political discourses around 1750, which was of decisive importance for the emergence of a modern model of literature.
