Department of H ' STod^l The University of British Columbia' Vancouver, Canada Date JO DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT On December 10, 1835 the Federal Diet of the German Confederation banned the publication and distribution of any works written by a group identified as "das junge Deutschland." The Diet explicitly named Karl Gutzkow, Heinrich Laube, Theodor Mundt, Ludolf Wienbarg, and Heinrich Heine as members of this group. Since 1835 the term "Young Germany" has been widely accepted among historians and literary analysts alike. However, there has been virtually no agreement regarding the purposes of the group, its importance, or even its membership. In recent years, historical studies have gradually come to accept that the notion of a unified group called "Young Germany" is a myth, but no study has attempted to identify the key issues which divided the so-called Young Germans. This study examines the content of the 'Young German' works in the years prior to the Federal ban in order to determine the nature of the disagreements which divided Gutzkow, Laube, Mundt and Wienbarg. By utilizing the voluminous monographic and journalistic works produced by the so- called Young Germans, this study establishes their positions on many of the key issues of the Vormarz era, in particular, the emancipation of women, religious emancipation and Saint- Simonianism, and political emancipation. Based upon these positions, this study argues that there was little consensus among the core 'members.' Each man believed that he was contributing to the creation of a new type of literature which would end the Romantic separation of literature from the real world and usher in a more utilitarian form of writing. The author would no longer serve only the muses of literature, he would also serve more practical causes. Beyond this shared conviction, however, there were few issues upon which Gutzkow, Laube, Mundt and Wienbarg agreed. Moreover, even on the basic assumption that writers and ii their works must serve practical causes there was considerable conflict regarding the implementation of this ideal. On the larger socio-political issues of the day there was virtually no agreement. Some of the 'Young Germans' expressed fairly traditional opinions on these topics, others were remarkably modern. Seldom if ever, however, did they speak with one voice. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iv Acknowledgement v Chapter One: Critical Issues Surrounding the Study of the 'Young German' Phenomenon 1 Chapter Two: The Inter-Relationship Among the 'Young Germans' as Demonstrated in their Journalistic Efforts 61 Chapter Three: The Question of Female Emancipation in the Works of the 'Young German' Authors 95 Chapter Four: Religious Emancipation and Saint-Simonianism in the Works of the 'Young German' Authors 154 Chapter Five: The Problem of Political Emancipation in the Works of the 'Young German' Authors 206 Conclusion 261 Bibliography 269 Appendix A: Documents Relating to Young Germany 279 i.

While I cannot possibly thank everyone in such a short space, I would like to single out several people who have made tremendous contributions to the completion of this project. I must begin by thanking Patrick Dunn and all of the staff in Inter-Library Loans Department of the library who were able to find material even when I provided them with the most cryptic of references. Without their help in securing sources, often on very short notice, this dissertation could not have been completed. In the History Department at the University of British Columbia I would like to thank the following individuals: my supervisor Dr. L.E. Hill whose vigilance and thoroughness ensured that this dissertation was logical, clear and concise, despite my constant attempts to undo his efforts with my convoluted prose; Dr. David Breen who provided encouragement and support over the final year of the project; and Dr. Christopher Friedrichs whose graduate seminar first provoked my interest in this topic. I would also like to thank my former supervisor at the University of Victoria, Dr. Thomas Saunders, for his generous assistance and encouragement over the past several years. I must also thank my friends and family for offering their support over the past eight years. My parents, David and Norma Kay, have been an unwavering source of reassurance and encouragement through this and every other project I have undertaken. I would also like to thank my grandparents for continually asking when my dissertation would be finished, and my mother- and father-in-law, Charles and Jean Kinney, for their support. The advice and encouragement from my colleagues at Kwantlen University College helped to give me the incentive to complete the final work. In particular, I would like to thank Frank Abbott and Betty Rideout, my office-mates, for their willingness to listen to my rantings over the past year. And finally, I would like to thank my husband Jonathan for his patience and understanding and, most importantly, for helping me to keep my sanity through a very long and frequently arduous process. He provided a much-needed voice of reason and support without which this project could not have been completed. CHAPTER ONE: Critical Issues Surrounding the Study of the 'Young German' Phenomenon Between 1830 and 1835 much of the German literary community was scandalized by the writings of a group of men known to the authorities as the Young Germans.1 The literary efforts of Karl Gutzkow, Heinrich Laube, Theodor Mundt and Ludolf Wienbarg polarized the opinion of the reading public. A young Friedrich Engels dismissed the Young Germans as "woolly-headed phrase-makers"2 whose overall importance was negligible. However, Wolfgang Menzel, a leading Vormdrz literary critic, argued that the writings of the Young Germans were "gegen das vaterlandische Interesse"3 because their writings undermined the foundations of all states, religions and customs. No less a figure than Prince Klemens von Metternich argued that the edict of suppression which eventually prohibited the production and distribution of their works was necessary to preserve the political structure of the state.4 In the 1830s the term 'junges Deutschland was used in a largely derogatory fashion. Their enemies had a two-fold purpose in invoking the term. It was certain to resonate with the authorities who were acutely aware of the activities of Giuseppe Mazzini's Young Italy and ^he name was coined following Ludolf Wienbarg's dedication of Aesthetische Feldziige (Hamburg: Hoffmann und Campe, 1834) to "das junge Deutschland." 2Friedrich Engels quoted in Hermann Boeschenstein, German Literature of the Nineteenth Century (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1969), 18. 3Wolfgang Menzel, "Die junge Literatur," Morgenblatt fur gebildete Stdnde, Literaturblatt Nr. 1 (1.1.183 5). 4Jefffey L. Sammons, Six Essays on the Young German Novel (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1972), 26. 1 were thus quick to conclude that Young Germany might pose a similar threat to the Metternichian system. Most often, however, the enemies of the new literature used the term 'jeune Allemagne' to emphasize the dangerous pro-French, materialist approach of the writers. Among contemporary literary historians and critics the term remains popular despite the fact that it has been argued convincingly that "as a group, Young Germany was largely imaginary, a fiction put into circulation by the Federal German ban on Heine, Gutzkow, Laube, Wienbarg and Mundt of December 10, 1835."5 Many literary historians and critics now acknowledge that the study of 'Young Germany' as a single literary group is immensely problematic. "Never has there been a literary movement the members of which were so much at odds with one another, and this atomization was intensified by the government assault."6 Recent scholarship has increasingly evinced a split on the Young German question. Most contemporary historians accept that there were more issues that divided the Young Germans than united them. As James Sheehan had observed "they were different in temperament, character, and fate...."7 However, most current literary analyses continue to claim that the term has some utility. As Jeffrey Sammons noted, "there are good impressionistic reasons for maintaining "Young Germany" as a useful term. In the core group of writers there is a special quality of intense urgency...

PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE It is right and fittingthat a word of tribute be expressed here in memory of the late Dr. Hugo Bieber, the author of this book. Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1883, he became a historian of Ger­ man literature and author of a number of works in this field; he was also the literary director of a German book guild. The trans­ formation of Germany in 1933, from the home of culture to the citadel of Nazism, compelled him to go to France; and in 1940 he came to the United States. Since he had made a special study of Heinrich Heine and had written a number of books on the subject, it was natural for the Jewish Publication Society to turn to him when it decided to prepare a volume on the German poet.
