Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Barely acknowledged by literary scholarship or the history of knowledge, miscellaneous anthologies were an enormously successful product of Early Modern Era 'knowledge literature' and 'knowledge culture.' This book presents for the first time a thoroughly interdisciplinary treatment of the subject. Miscellaneous anthologies served a wider public's polyhistoric desire for knowledge beyond the ordering discourse of strictly academic encyclopedias. Combining old and new media, these fascinating texts dynamically interwove convergent forms of knowledge. Flemming Schock, Göttingen.
