The proposed project focusses on the generic tradition of epic poems (carmina heroica) of the ‘long’ 17th century (1570–1740) in the German territories. If one takes its immense significance for early modern German literary history into account, the genre of carmina heroica, which in the seventeenth century understanding of the genre includes heroic and didactic poems as well as other epic traditions, has not at all been appropriately explored. The project aims at filling this gap in the existing research by constructing a historical inventory and an interactive bibliographical database, as well as by supplementary research. By exploring the literary history of the genre of carmina heroica, which has been largely neglected until now, the project will contribute to a revision of the general history of early modern literary genres. First of all, it aims at demonstrating that the history of narrative in the 17th century did not teleologically lead to the modern novel. Furthermore, the project will contribute to an urgently needed historicization of existing research on the relationship between literature and knowledge. Finally, it makes possible the establishment of new perspectives on the history of fiction.

拟议的项目侧重于“漫长的”17世纪（1570-1740）在德国领土的史诗（carmina heroica）的一般传统。如果考虑到《英雄之歌》在早期现代德国文学史上的巨大意义，那么在17世纪，人们对这一体裁的理解包括英雄诗、说教诗以及其他史诗传统，但这一体裁根本没有得到适当的探讨。该项目旨在通过建立一个历史清单和一个互动式书目数据库以及补充研究来填补现有研究中的这一空白。通过探索迄今为止一直被忽视的英雄颂歌体裁的文学史，该项目将有助于修订早期现代文学体裁的一般历史。首先，它旨在论证世纪的叙事史并没有从目的论上导致现代小说。此外，该项目将有助于对文学与知识之间关系的现有研究进行迫切需要的历史化。最后，它使小说史新视角的建立成为可能。
