Preface The essays assembled here were previously published but scattered in specialized scholarly journals and volumes of contributions by various authors where they could not find the wider audience that a collection like the present one may reach. They have now been arranged in a pattern of thematic coherence outlined in the introduction. Repetitions have been kept to the necessary minimum in order to avoid cluttering without sacrificing signals of communication from one text to the other. Most of these essays address aspects of themes that have been prominent in my scholarly writing for several years. They do so in a way that is more accessible as well as more succinct and more suggestive of further exploration than the elaborate examination of the wider reaches offered in my German-language books, which are mentioned where appropriate. The majority of the texts were either written in English or adapted from German versions and revised stylistically and otherwise for the present volume. Wherever the earlier versions did not provide English equivalents of German quotations, I have paraphrased or translated them, leaving the German text in place, or relegating it to a note, or eliminating it entirely, as readability or the significance of the original wording might warrant. Some of these texts started their life as lectures; I have weeded out most though not all traces of this genesis. Three of the essays (nos. 1, 7, and 8) were translated by colleagues: James van der Laan, Alexa Alfer, and Ritchie Robertson, respectively. I am greatly indebted to them for allowing me to recycle their work. I have introduced a few minor revisions with a view to modifying or clarifying points made, without quibbling about the translators’ choice of words. Their style of referencing was changed slightly to conform 2 Exploring the Interior to that of the rest of the essays. (British spelling was left untouched in the essays of Section II.) Unless stated otherwise, English versions of quotations are those of the translators. In none of the twelve texts was there any need for substantial changes in the light of recent scholarly publications. I am grateful to the publishers listed in the “Acknowledgements” for permission to reprint these essays. The frontispiece is used by permission of the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel, the cover image by permission of Pusey Library, Harvard University. I am much indebted to Open Book Publishers for preparing the selective index with some help from me. I thank Harvard University for a printing subsidy from the Anne and Jim Rothenberg Fund for Humanities Research. Introduction: From the Interior of Continents to the Interior of the Mind The essays assembled here view literature and literary life in the cultural contexts that emerged after the waning of the Middle Ages and the rise of the intellectual emancipation that culminated in the European Enlightenment. Prominent among these contexts is what the Swiss historian Ulrich Im Hof called “the grand opening-up of the wide world.”1 This was the sea change that Edmund Burke envisioned in a much-quoted remark in his letter of June 9, 1777 to William Robertson, the author of a just-published History of America: “Now the great Map of Mankind is unrolld at once.”2 This observation is all the more remarkable in that it revealed a keen sense of what followed from it: the realization that “we possess at this time very great advantages towards the knowledge of human Nature.” The implication was that the distant lands on this map of the world — he ticked off China, Persia, Abyssinia, Tartary, Arabia, North America and New Zealand — were now being explored with a view to their indigenous populations. Of course, the Age of Discovery had begun to widen the horizon of Europeans two hundred and more years earlier, ever since Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus, when explorers were driven by the yen for precious metals, spices, and other luxury goods, by the urge to save souls, by the national 1 Ulrich Im Hof, Das Europa der Aufklärung (München, 1993), ch. 6: “Die große Öffnung in die weite Welt.” 2 The Correspondence of Edmund Burke, ed. Thomas W. Copeland, III, ed. George H. Guttridge (Cambridge, 1961), 350–351. © Karl S. Guthke, CC BY 4.0 https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0126.13 4 Exploring the Interior ambition to plant flags on no-man’s-lands, or by the lure of adventure. (The first two essays in this collection focus on neglected aspects of that age.) However, by the second half of the eighteenth century, this period of world history was already drawing to its close, with the remaining blank spots on the map largely limited to the interior of the continents beyond Europe. What was dawning “now” was what oceanic historian John H. Parry described as the Second Age of Discovery.3 Its explorations of the interior, rather than the coastal regions more commonly frequented or taken over by traders, missionaries, planters, settlers, and empire-builders, continued well into the nineteenth century and beyond, with Alexander von Humboldt travelling in the Andean countries, Mungo Park along the Niger River, Carsten Niebuhr in Arabia, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and John Franklin in North America, Richard Burton and John Speke in search of the source of the Nile, David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley in central Africa, Friedrich Wilhelm Leichardt in the outback of Australia, and Claude Lévy-Strauss in Brazil, to mention just a few of the many making their mark between Captain Cook’s voyages and Bruce Chatwin’s forays into Patagonia.

  • Mathematics in the Modern Age - the 18Th Century: Crossing Bridges Transcript
    Mathematics in the modern age - The 18th century: Crossing bridges Transcript Date: Wednesday, 4 October 2006 - 12:00AM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN AGE - THE 18TH CENTURY: CROSSING BRIDGES Professor Robin Wilson Introduction After Isaac Newton had published his celebrated PrincipiaMathematicain 1687 – the book that explained gravitation and how the planets move – his life changed for ever, and in a way that would also affect the nature of British mathematics for the next 150 years or so. His book was highly praised in Britain, even though few people could understand it, and the reclusive Newton was now a public figure. After spending a year as an ineffective Member of Parliament for Cambridge University – apparently he spoke only once, and that was to ask an official to open a window – Newton became Warden, and later Master, of the Royal Mint, living in the Tower of London, supervising the minting of coins, and punishing counterfeiters. He had now left Cambridge for good. In 1703 Newton’s arch-rival Robert Hooke died, with repercussions for both Gresham College where he was Gresham Professor of Geometry, and the Royal Society which still held its meetings in Sir Thomas Gresham’s former house. The rebuilding of the Royal Exchange after the Great Fire of 1666 had been costly, and attendances at Gresham lectures were then sparse, so proposals were made to save money by rebuilding the College on a smaller scale. Parliament was petitioned for approval, with only Robert Hooke, now frail and the only professor resident in the College, holding out against the plans.

  • Chemical Innovation in Plant Nutrition in a Historical Continuum from Ancient Greece and Rome Until Modern Times
    DOI: 10.1515/cdem-2016-0002 CHEM DIDACT ECOL METROL. 2016;21(1-2):29-43 Jacek ANTONKIEWICZ 1* and Jan ŁAB ĘTOWICZ 2 CHEMICAL INNOVATION IN PLANT NUTRITION IN A HISTORICAL CONTINUUM FROM ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME UNTIL MODERN TIMES INNOWACJE CHEMICZNE W OD ŻYWIANIU RO ŚLIN OD STARO ŻYTNEJ GRECJI I RZYMU PO CZASY NAJNOWSZE Abstract: This monograph aims to present how arduously views on plant nutrition shaped over centuries and how the foundation of environmental knowledge concerning these issues was created. This publication also presents current problems and trends in studies concerning plant nutrition, showing their new dimension. This new dimension is determined, on one hand, by the need to feed the world population increasing in geometric progression, and on the other hand by growing environmental problems connected with intensification of agricultural production. Keywords: chemical innovations, plant nutrition Introduction Plant nutrition has been of great interest since time immemorial, at first among philosophers, and later among researchers. The history of environmental discoveries concerning the way plants feed is full of misconceptions and incorrect theories. Learning about the multi-generational effort to find an explanation for this process that is fundamental for agriculture shows us the tenacity and ingenuity of many outstanding personalities and scientists of that time. It also allows for general reflection which shows that present-day knowledge (which often seems obvious and simple) is the fruit of a great collective effort of science. Antiquity Already in ancient Greece people were interested in life processes of plants, the way they feed, and in the conditions that facilitate or inhibit their growth.

  • Des Reiches Strasse
    Lauchstädt Ein Tempel Weimars Wenn Goethe heute, wie so oft zwischen den Jahren 1791 und 1811, im Sommer nach Lauchstädt fahren würde, um dort den Brunnen zu trinken und das Spiel seiner Weimarer Truppe zu leiten, so müßte er zwischen Freyburg an der Unstrut und seinem Ziel in der Gegend des Geiseltales ein Stück durch die Luft fahren. Die alte Straße hört hier plötzlich auf, und das Erdreich ist tief ausgehöhlt: hier sind die Braunkohlengruben, die das Leunawerk versorgen. Bergbau hat ihn, der selbst in Ilmenau die Silbergruben wieder in Tätigkeit zu bringen versuchte, stets lebhaft interessiert. Er würde also die Anlagen höchst bemerkenswert finden und dafür auch den Umweg in Kauf nehmen, den der neue Straßenzug verlangt. Dann aber würde die Nähe von Lauchstädt ihn freuen, die Dürre der Gegend hört auf, und an dem kleinen Bach, der sich durch Wiesen und Felder zur Saale schlängelt, ist das hohe Wachstum der Bäume von Lauchstädt entfaltet, in deren Hut das kleine Theater liegt, das nach Goethes Angaben hier errichtet wurde. Goethe hat drei Bühnen gebaut: das alte und das neue Komödienhaus in Weimar sowie das Sommertheater in Bad Lauchstädt bei Halle. Der erste Bau brannte nieder, der dann errichtete Neubau wurde zu Beginn unseres Jahrhunderts pietätvoll abgerissen. Ein Zeugnis blieb bestehen: das Goethe-Theater in Lauchstädt. Durch zwei Jahrzehnte, 1791- 1811, hat Goethe – mit kurzer Unterbrechung durch die Kriegsläufte hier Sommer für Sommer die Weimarer Schauspieler gastieren lassen, auf damals kursächsischem Boden, vor einem Publikum, das zumeist aus Halle, dazu aus Leipzig und aus kleinen Städten des östlichen Thüringen kam.

Ein besonderes Wort des Dankes gilt einigen Freunden, Ursula Seidler, Günter Sokol, Sabine Schmidt und Margit Florl-Mahmoudi, die mir beim Korrekturlesen geholfen haben. Mein innigster Dank gilt jedoch meinem verstorbenen Bruder, ohne dessen Anteilnahme und Unterstützung, insbesondere bei der Beschaffung von chinesischem Material, ich meine Arbeit nicht hätte abschließen können.
