Digitale Bibliothek Deutscher Klassiker
The Digitale Bibliothek Deutscher Klassiker is an exciting new project which
provides unparalleled access to carefully edited editions of German literature.
In co-operation with the Deutsche Klassiker Verlag in Frankfurt am Main, we
are publishing a wide array of classic German literature, from early German
texts to the major German writers of the nineteenth century.
The printed Bibliothek Deutscher Klassiker includes the critical editions of
the works of 34 authors, among them — early German texts, such as
Lancelot und Ginover, complete editions of Wolfram von Eschenbach, the
works of Meister Eckhart, collections of Medieval German poetry and novels,
Carmina Burana, and complete editions of important German authors such
as Eichendorff, Keller, Hölderlin, Kleist, Büchner and Storm.
To provide essential context and background material to the political and
intellectual debates at the heart of Europe during the nineteenth century, the
texts are accompanied by collections of other influential literary and non-
literary materials. For example, texts relating to the theory of the state and
church, the theory and history of war and political speeches are included.
By creating an electronic edition of the Bibliothek Deutscher Klassiker it will
be possible for the first time to cross search the whole collection. Users will
be able to put all the different editions in context. For example, analysing the
way the ideas of the French Revolution are mirrored in the literature of the
time becomes not only possible but quick and thorough.
Electronic access will hugely increase the research value of the Bibliothek
Deutscher Klassiker throughout the resource.
The Digitale Bibliothek Deutscher Klassiker will provide a core collection for
the Germanist, but also for the medievalist, the historian and researchers in
German philosophy.
The Digitale Bibliothek Deutscher Klassiker will be published in eight
releases (Ausgaben) and will be complete in 2004.
The first three releases, containing works by Büchner, Eichendorff, Herder,
Hölderlin, Keller, Kleist, Seume, Storm, Varnhagen von Ense, Achim and
Bettin von Arnim and the Grimm brothers, are available now
"The standards of scholarship and the concern to make the texts both
intelligible and agreeable to the modern reader are on a much higher level
than in either the Pléiade or the Library of America."
Charles Rosen, The New York Review
