Am Beispiel zahlreicher deutsch-judischer Autorinnen und Autoren analysieren die Beitrage dieses Bandes aufschlussreiche Briefwechsel, die als Seismograph fur gesellschaftliche Prozesse, geistige Bewegungen und geschichtliche Entwicklungen betrachtet werden konnen.


The papers of this book appraise the exchanges of letters by German-Jewish authors on the subject of literature. These correspondences can be seen as a seismograph for social processes, intellectual movements and historical developments. The papers analyse the style of the letters and highlight their boundaries to and tangency with other literary genres. The selection is analysed within the framework of these queries: What role are the letters playing in the establishment of new aesthetic, literary and cultural movements? How do correspondences enable literary exchanges to overcome cultural, religious and linguistical differences? Do letters about literature foster transnational, productive connections?
