Anton Reiser

Beschreibung

The psychological novel Anton Reiser (1785–1790) is Karl Philipp Moritz’ best-known major work and a key text for German Enlightenment. The present volume is the first complete critical edition. A detailed commentary analyzes the innovative structure of the work as a hybrid blend of fiction and autobiographical fact. It discusses both the underlying literary patterns and the descriptive processes involved in Moritz’ Erfahrungsseelenkunde (experiential psychology), as well as the personal and historical background of the narrative. This casts new light on Anton Reiser as an autobiographical construct.
