Zwischen Moos und Wetterglas : naturkundliche Interieurs und Objekte in der Literatur der deutschsprachigen Aufklärung

Abstract

We investigate how objects of natural history, interiors, and practices of observation, collecting and experimenting as well as other forms of sensual perception of nature are represented and interpreted aesthetically in writings of the German-speaking Enlightenment. On the basis of selected examples, we analyze how systematizations and methods of natural history are transferred and adapted to literature and poetics.
