Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first complete biographical and critical study of Karl Philipp Moritz (1756–93), German novelist, teacher, journalist, and philologist. His psychological novel, Anton Reiser, replete with insights into the sociological and psychological life of the time, was one of the most important eighteenth-century German novels. Moritz was in close touch with most of the major intellectual currents in Weimar and Berlin—from aesthetics and linguistics on the one hand to pietistical and mystical movements on the other—and he was a friend of Goethe and of other significant German literary figures as well. His career was a turbulent one, made all the more difficult by his many-sided psychological problems, which play a large role in his autobiographical writings. Karl Philipp Moritz has never been totally forgotten, but scholarly interest in him has increased dramatically in the last few decades. His works, particularly Anton Reiser, have also generated considerable popular interest. This is the first comprehensive monograph on this multi-faceted modern writer—an amazing fact in light of the homage paid Moritz by such contemporaries as Goethe, Schiller, and Jean Paul. Mark Boulby has succeeded admirably in relating all the frequently disparate ideas of Moritz to the trends of the period, and has combined theoretical analysis and biographical investigation in a readable and lively book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Philipp Moritz (d. 1793) was one of the most innovative writers of the late Enlightenment in Germany. A novelist, travel writer, editor, and teacher he is probably best known today for his autobiographical novel Anton Reiser (1785-90) and for his treatises on aesthetics, foremost among them Über die bildende Nachahmung des Schönen (On the Formative Imitation of the Beautiful), published in 1788. In this treatise, Moritz develops the concept of aesthetic autonomy, which became widely known after Goethe included a lengthy excerpt of it in his own Italian Journey (1816-17). It was one of the foundational texts of Weimar classicism, and it became pivotal for the development of early Romanticism. In The Topography of Modernity, Elliott Schreiber gives Moritz the credit he deserves as an important thinker beyond his contributions to aesthetic theory. Indeed, he sees Moritz as an incisive early observer and theorist of modernity. Considering a wide range of Moritz's work including his novels, his writings on mythology, prosody, and pedagogy, and his political philosophy and psychology, Schreiber shows how Moritz's thinking developed in response to the intellectual climate of the Enlightenment and paved the way for later social theorists to conceive of modern society as differentiated into multiple, competing value spheres.

Book excerpt: In Anton Reiser, the critic and educator Karl Philipp Moritz (1756-1793) turned his early life into fiction and, according to his translator Ritchie Robertson, created 'one of the most memorable experiences German literature has to offer'. A masterpiece of emotional extremism and unsparing self-analysis, it tells the story of a gifted outsider driven to near-madness by exclusion from middle-class privilege and academic success. Brought up by members of a mystical protestant sect, apprenticed to a pious but tyrannical tradesman, and humiliated as a charity-pupil at school, Reiser escapes into an obsession with literature and the theatre, discovers a strange underworld of impoverished artisan intellectuals, and undertakes long wanderings in pursuit of a theatrical career.

Book excerpt: My dissertation argues that Karl Philipp Moritz (1756-1793), in famously delineating the principle of aesthetic autonomy, provides a model for understanding modern institutional autonomy as such. In addition to art, Moritz focuses on the institutions of education, the self, and the state. Each of these he depicts as autonomous to the degree that they, like art, achieve what he terms an "inner purposefulness," that is, an inner space unique to the given institution. What is surprising about Moritz's emphasis on the spatial structure of institutions is the conclusion he draws: precisely as spatial constructs, they turn out to be open to transformation. In other words, each subsists in what he terms a "Spielraum" (or space for play) and can be demolished and rebuilt in alternative configurations. Moritz is thus one of the first thinkers to conceptualize not only the autonomy of modern institutions, but also the course of their history as one of recurring crisis, which he---unlike Hegel and other prominent early theorists of modernity---does not bend into a teleology. The work examines Moritz's project in relation to the thought of Descartes, Locke, Rousseau, Lessing, Basedow, Goethe, and Kant.
