Book Series

The Goethe Society sponsors a book series published by Bucknell University Press. See the announcement here.

The Society has been seeking ways, in light of the ever-narrowing publishing possibilities, to support research on Goethe/ eighteenth-century studies and finally decided to collaborate with Bucknell. On average, we will publish about 1-2 books a year in the series. The goal of this series is to publish innovative research that contextualizes the "Age of Goethe," whether within the fields of literature, history (including art history and history of science), philosophy, art, music, or politics. We encourage the submission of high-quality manuscripts and welcome all approaches and perspectives. We are especially interested in interdisciplinary projects, creative approaches to archival or original source materials, theoretically informed scholarship, work that introduces previously undiscovered materials, or projects that re-examine traditional epochal boundaries or open new channels of interpretation. Authors should send manuscript proposals and one sample chapter (electronic versions are preferred) to the editor of the book series,

We continue to welcome all approaches and perspectives, and I look forward to speaking with anyone interested in submitting a manuscript at the Atkins Goethe Conference in Chicago.

I am delighted to announce that the first book in our series, Peter J. Schwartz's After Jena: Goethe's Elective Affinities and the End of the Old Regime, will be available for purchase in a few months. The list price is going to be $75, but Bucknell will offer it to Goethe Society members for a discounted price of $49.50 + $3.95 for shipping. When ordering, members need only to identify themselves as such to receive the discount.

Over the last several months, the editorial board has received several excellent book proposals, and it is awaiting the completed manuscripts to send out for review. Given the strength of these proposals, we anticipate that we will be publishing more books in the series over the next year. The editorial board hopes that if you are working on a book, you will consider our series. Please contact any member of the board if you have any questions.
