Publisher Description Emphasizing the role of and portrayal of emotion, this study argues for the inclusion of six late-eighteenth-century German-language novels by and about women in a revised canon.Literature written by women in German during the "Age of Goethe" was largely considered unworthy Trivialliteratur. Using insights from Gender Studies yet acknowledging the need for a literary canon, Great Books by German Women offers a critical interpretation of six canon-worthy German novels written by women in the period, which it calls the "Age of Emotion." The novels are chosen because they depict womens ordinary yet interesting lives and because each contains prose particularly expressive of emotion. Sophie von La Roches Die Geschichte des Frauleins von Sternheim draws on the tradition of the epistolary novel while finding new ways to depict empathetic emotions. Friederike Ungers Julchen Grunthal brings to the Frauenroman or womens novel the use of irony to portray a heroines emotions during her coming of age. Sophie Mereaus Blutenalter der Empfindung imagines womens affinity for the philosophical sublime, while Caroline Wolzogen depicts female desire in her Agnes von Lilien: both add lyricism to their prose, capturing sensual emotions. Karoline Fischers Die Honigmonathe explores the agony that extreme emotions cause - not only for women but for men. And Caroline Pichlers Frauenwurde expands the focus from a young heroine to multiple mature characters. This study concludes that the influence of these six works was in no way trivial, either in portraying womens lives and emotions or in the history of German literature.
