Invoking Goethes name has become fashionable again. With new methods and technologies of reading threatening to render literature virtual and insubstantial, we have the sense that Goethes ghosts - the otherwise neglected voices and traditions that, finding their most trenchant expression in Goethe, inform the Western storehouse of literature - can show us long-forgotten dimensions of literature. Inspired by the distinguished Goethe scholar Jane Brown, the contributors to this volume take a rich variety of approaches to Goethe: cultural studies, history of the book, semiotics, deconstruction, colonial studies, feminism, childhood studies, and eco-criticism. Goethes Ghosts: Reading and the Persistence of Literature by Simon Richter
