Early Modern German Literature 1620-1720.A Lexicon of Literary Authors (VL 17)

该项目对从三十年战争到启蒙运动早期的文学作品进行了权威的描述，重点关注历史人物和作家。它在结构、方法和总体目标上都遵循了德国的VerFasserlexikon Frühe Neuzeit。第一卷已经完成，第二卷将在第二个资助期开始时出版，第三卷至第五卷将在此期间准备印刷。所有卷都将由de Gruyter以印刷版和电子版在VerFasserdatenbank Online(VDBO)上出版。所有文章在出版24个月后都可以通过电子方式免费获取；此外，汉堡大学的数据管理中心将根据开放获取规则以XML格式存储数字版本。VL17将包含约750篇有关当时相关作者的文章和各种索引，将提供对文学形式、历史和社会动态以及智力辩论的全面评估。所有的文章都是由专家根据现有资料撰写的。它们包括简明的传记，对作者作品及其背景的简要分析，他或她已出版和未出版作品的详细文件，以及相关二手文学的完整参考书目。VL17绝对是跨学科的，汇集了德国文学、戏剧研究、古典文学、神学和知识与科学史的专家。在主要关注文学的同时，它也没有忽视文学与语用形式、主题和话语之间特有的早期现代联系。因此，除了严格意义上的文学作家(如奥普茨、弗莱明、格里菲斯)外，基尔彻、普芬多夫和莱布尼茨等有影响力的知识分子人物也将因其突出的文化意义而被包括在内。通过这种包容性的方法，VL17跨越了时代和学科之间的传统界限，提供了早期现代文学和文化的微妙视角。时间框架的开始标志着三十年战争的开始和奥普茨的《Buch von der Deutschen Poeterey》(1624年)。其最终特征是在社会(社会功能分化)、知识分子(理性主义)和修辞层面(否定巴洛克修辞，支持“教条分类”)上发生深刻变化。至于文学史，这里定义的漫长的17世纪介于奥普茨和哥白德的古典主义之间。VL17将结束对前现代文学的词典编排，该词典始于《VerFasserlexikon Deutsche Writatur des Mittelalters》。

The project gives authoritative accounts of the literature written from the Thirty Years' War to the early Enlightenment, focusing on historical persons and authors. It follows the Verfasserlexikon Frühe Neuzeit in Deutschland in structure, method and general aims. Volume I is completed, volume II will be published at the beginning of the second funding period, volumes III to V will be prepared for printing within this period. All Volumes will be published in print and electronically in the Verfasserdatenbank online (VDBO) by De Gruyter. All articles will be electronically accessible free of charge 24 months after publishing; furthermore, the Zentrum für nachhaltiges Forschungsdatenmanagement at Hamburg University will store a digital version in XML format according to open access regulations.With about 750 articles on relevant authors of the time as well as various indexes, the VL17 will provide a comprehensive assessment of literary forms, historical and social dynamics as well as intellectual debates. All the articles are written by specialists on the basis of the available sources. They contain a concise biography, a compact analysis of the author's works and their contexts, a detailed documentation of his or her published and unpublished works, and a full bibliography of the relevant secondary literature. The VL17 is decisively interdisciplinary, bringing together experts of German Literature, Theatre Studies, Classics, Theology and the History of Knowledge and Science. While focusing mainly on literature, it does not neglect literature's characteristically early-modern links with pragmatic forms, topics and discourses. In addition to literary authors in a strict sense (e.g. Opitz, Fleming, Gryphius), therefore, influential intellectual figures such as Kircher, Pufendorf and Leibniz will also be included for their outstanding cultural significance. With this inclusive approach, the VL17 crosses conventional borders between epochs and disciplines and offers a nuanced view of early modern literature and culture. The beginning of the time frame is marked by the start of the Thirty Years' War and Opitz's 'Buch von der deutschen Poeterey' (1624). The end is characterized by profound changes on the social (functional differentiation of society), intellectual (rationalism) and the rhetorical plane (repudiation of baroque rhetoric in favour of 'doctrine classique'). As for literary history, the long 17th century here defined sits between the classicisms of Opitz and Gottsched. The VL17 will conclude the lexicographic coverage of premodern literature started with the 'Verfasserlexikon Deutsche Literatur des Mittelalters'.
