Caroline de la Motte Fouqué: Ausgewählte WerkeCaroline de la Motte Fouqué (1755-1831) was one of the most productive authors of her time. She published over 20 novels and a large number of narratives. The texts on education for girls occupy a central position in her theoretical writings. Just as Caroline Fouque endeavoured to capture the "Zeitgeist" in her texts, her life and her works as well as their reception and handing down offer a multifaced picture of female writing in the first third of the 19th century. It is characterized by social pressures and mental auto-censorship on the one hand and by a breaking through of limits on the other, in her personal and her writing life. At the same time, Caroline Fouque is an example for gender-specific exclusion mechanisms in canon formation and the writing of the history of literature. Even contemporary critics constantly examined the texts for the femininity of their style. The distorted image which Arno Schmidt gave of her in his Friedrich Fouqué biography obstructed the view even more. This selection of the works of Caroline Fouqé presents some of the texts which are not easily accessible today, thus allowing a prejudice-free study of this wrongly almost forgotten author. | |
