Briefe und Tagebücher zwischen Text und Quelle.

In this volume, historians and literary critics jointly explore the literary genres of letters and diaries, which, for historians, are a key historical source. This interdisciplinary perspective opens up new epistemological opportunities, and it demonstrates, how stimulating an interdisciplinary conversation about genres can be. The volume presents a multi-facetted panorama of epistolary and diaristic cultures from the early modern period to the twentieth century.
