Play in the Age of Goethe

Theories, Narratives, and Practices of Play Around 1800

Herausgeber: Landgraf, Edgar; Schreiber, Elliott

Beschreibung

The essays in this volume discuss critical developments in the philosophy, pedagogy, psychology, politics, and poetics of play around 1800. They illustrate that, in this time period, the parameters are set that continue to guide our debates about what are good rather than bad games or practices of play.

ELLIOTT SCHREIBER is an associate professor of German studies at Vassar College in New York. He is author of The Space of Autonomy: Karl Philipp Moritz and the Topography of Modernity, as well as articles on numerous authors of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
