Critical edition in German: 'Louise von François - 'Phosphorus Hollunder' und 'Der Posten der Frau''

路易丝·冯·弗朗西弗的两部作品的评论版。与现代人文科学研究会签约，2008年秋季出版。参见宣传：www.mhra.org/Publications/Books/Criticaltexts.html.)My在19世纪德国文学领域的研究最近导致了“路易丝·冯·弗朗索瓦（1817-1893）的散文小说”的出版，牛津-伯尔尼，朗，2006年。这是关于这位相对不知名的作家的第一部英文专著，这本书填补了现代学术机构的空白，重新评估了19世纪非正统女性作家的文学和知识遗产。在这个项目之后，鉴于自1918年以来没有新版本的franois作品出现，我试图解决对这位作者的无障碍，注释的主要文本的需求。因此，我得到了一份合同，为她的两篇中篇小说出版一卷的德语评论版。《磷·霍伦德》和《邮报》（都是1857年出版的）从整体上说明了弗朗索瓦作品的关注点：将荣誉和责任作为一个更公平的社会的先决条件，对阶级偏见和宗教不宽容的反感，以及对女性自立的独特关注。该卷将写在德国，从而提高其学术地位和市场在整个德语世界，并将提供一个介绍生活和工作的弗朗索瓦，对两个中篇小说的关键评论，并详细说明了历史和文化参考文献所载的文本。这将是弗朗索瓦作品的第一个批判版，并将出现在现代人文研究协会的新“批判文本”系列中。一个有声望的出版商对重新唤醒对法语的兴趣的积极回应表明了她的工作质量和这个项目的学术价值。

Critical edition of two works by Louise von François. (Book contract with Modern Humanities Research Association, for publication in autumn 2008. See publicity: www.mhra.org/Publications/Books/Criticaltexts.html.)My research within the field of 19th-century German literature has recently resulted in the publication of 'The Prose Fiction of Louise von François (1817-1893)', Oxford-Berne, Lang, 2006. The first monograph in English on this relatively unknown writer, this study fills a gap in the modern body of scholarship that reassesses the literary and intellectual legacy of non-canonical woman writers of the 19th century. Following this project, in view of the fact that no new edition of François's work has appeared since 1918, I have sought to address the need for accessible, annotated primary texts by this author. As a result I have secured a contract for a one-volume critical edition in German of two of her novellas. 'Phosphorus Hollunder' and 'Der Posten der Frau' (both 1857) illustrate the preoccupations of François's work as a whole: an endorsement of honour and duty as prerequisites for a more equitable society, an antipathy towards class prejudice and religious intolerance, and a distinctive focus on female self-reliance.The volume will be written in German, thus enhancing its academic status and marketability throughout the German-speaking world, and will offer an introduction on the life and work of François, a critical commentary on the two novellas in question, and detailed notes on the historical and cultural references contained in the text. This will be the first ever critical edition of François's work, and will appear in the Modern Humanities Research Association's new 'Critical Texts' series. This positive response on the part of a prestigious publisher to the reawakening of interest in François is indicative both of the quality of her work and the academic merit of this project.
