The historical-critical edition of 31 volumes makes accessible the entire surviving correspondence (approx. 5800 letters from the period 1722 to 1766) of a central figure of the German Enlightenment, Johann Christoph Gottsched, and his wife Luise Adelgunde Victorie Gottsched, née Kulmus, who was equally active as a collaborator/working partner and author. This edition provides a corpus of sources that provides new insights into important developmental tendencies in the middle of the Enlightenment century, e.g. the final emergence of German as a literary language, the emergence of modern theatre, the development of new forms of periodical press, the formation of a dense network of societies committed to the Enlightenment. Gottsched's correspondents came from a wide variety of intellectual circles and social classes: University professors, Protestant and Catholic clergymen, teachers, actors, Huguenots, aristocrats. The edition offers the complete texts of all letters written by and addressed to Gottsched and his wife. The letters have been extensively annotated. The foreign-language letters have been provided with regests in addition to the text.
