Johann Gustav Droysen: Historik Johann Gustav Droysen: Historik / Band 2,1-2, 2 Teile

These two volumes contain 50 textes from the ambit of history, for example essential material on the history of the development of Droysen's 'Historik' (Outline of the Principles of History). This includes essays on the theory of history,memorandums on the educational system and on academic life, key book reviews, precedent-setting lectures, and in addition poems, personal letters and excerpts from his personal file, and mainly the theoretical introductions to his lectures on history, for example on ancient history, (in various versions). The texts were written between 1826 and 1882, predominantly in the period before 1857, when Droysen held his lecture on the 'Historik' for the first time. 30 of these texts have not been published previously, and those which were already published were mostly published in a remote spot where they received no attention. The editor's annotations provide evidence of the quotations and references to literature, identify allusions and refer to parallel passages in other Droysen texts.
