The articles in this volume are the fruits of an international interdisciplinary symposium. The influence of Matthias Claudius' work has remained tangible to the present day in German-speaking cultures, but it tends to be limited to a handful of his poems and prose writings. The volume attempts to cast new light on the broad-ranging literary oeuvre of Claudius by exploring different lines of inquiry and bringing together a variety of methodological approaches to his work.
