The Cornell University Library and Cornell University Press announce a new series:
Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought
…a new publishing model for:
- the best new book manuscripts in German literature, criticism, and cultural studies;
- selected conference proceedings;
- reprints of important works that are otherwise no longer available.
Series editor: Peter Uwe Hohendahl, Cornell
The editors of Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought construe "modern" in the broadest terms: from post-medieval Frühe Neuzeit to post-modern present. Home to a range of interdisciplinary and theoretical work concerned with this extended modernity, the series will also build focus clusters in areas of German Studies scholarship that have become increasingly difficult to place in the North American publishing context, but which remain fundamental to the health of the discipline. Work on the early modern period – Humanism, Baroque, Enlightenment – will form one such focus area; literary studies of the work of individual authors will be another. One goal is better integration into a broader interdisciplinary understanding of German studies of periods and scholarly genres that are vulnerable to marginalization.
The series is published under a joint imprint of Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library; titles will appear in electronic form and trade-quality bound versions will be available on a print-on-demand basis. Manuscript submissions will undergo the same rigorous editorial and peer review as Cornell University Press monographs published in the traditional manner.
