Description: The "18th Century German Literature Online" includes first editions and the first published complete editions of the works of more than 600 German-speaking authors from the early to the late Enlightenment. Edited by Paul Raabe, the database includes the full text of approximately 2,700 works (in more than 4,700 volumes) that reflect the broad spectrum of German literature from the Enlightenment. Included are the first editions and complete historical editions of leading representatives of the Enlightenment such as Bürger, Gottsched, Herder, Kant, Lessing, Mendessohn, Moritz, Nicolai, Wieland and many more, as well as the writings of the "Göttinger Hainbund" and works of the Swiss Enlightenment. The database further contains the writings of hundreds of lesser known authors who nevertheless contributed to the literary Enlightenment in Germany with their lyrical, dramatic and epic works. Each work is presented as digital facsimile with accompanying, searchable full text. In addition to complete bibliographic records for each individual work, electronic tables of content permit to directly access chapter headings and sections, such as a particular poem or act. A short bio-bibliographic article provides an introduction to each author.
