Johann Christoph Gottsched: Briefwechsel / Oktober 1745 – September 1746

von , , ,

In this volume, Gottsched speaks in detail about the tangible impacts of Prussia’s defeat of the Electorate of Saxony. Letters also describe Gottsched’s work for the 1746 Luther and Leibniz prizes and the gifts to the local Alethophile Society. Along with Gottsched’s contacts with playwrights, drama collecting, and critical activity, the letters reveal the beginnings of his quest for medieval German poetry manuscripts.
